This course introduces contemporary science to students with research and writing interests in the area of science, philosophy, and religion. It also treats scientific boundary questions, which are philosophical, ethical, and theological questions raised by science yet not answerable within science itself. This is more than a popular science course; it is the course to take when you are ready to go beyond popular science, and you are ready for integrative thinking that connects science, philosophy, history, ethics, and theology. The Fall semester lectures are on the biological sciences. That semester can be taken independently of the Spring semester on physics. The lectures are held on Friday mornings, 9-12. The mathematics required for the Spring lectures on physics is taught through the whole year in a separate meeting on Wednesdays, beginning early and ending at 10:30am. You should consult Dr. Wildman about your background and readiness to take this course prior to registering.
