260010 Philosophisches Schreiben: What is science? (S) (SoSe 2021)

Contents, comment

This course will be taught in English

The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the basics of writing philosophical texts and to give students the opportunity to practice writing a philosophical term paper. The course is divided into to parts. In the first part we will read and discuss a variety of philosophical texts on the topic of Science: what distinguishes science from pseudoscience, what are the characteristics of high-quality science, the motivations behind science denialism and strategies to deal with it. In each seminar we will discuss the content of the reading, the context in which it was written, and the style in which it was written. In the second part of the course, the students put this knowledge into practice. Each student will pick a topic related to one or more of the readings and will be guided through the steps for writing a high-quality philosophical paper. In each seminar we will discuss an aspect of philosophical writing and then students will read, discuss and review each other’s assignments. I will also meet with students individually on two occasions to provide detailed feedback on their drafts.

Requirements for participation, required level

This course will take place in English.
Die Seminare des Philosophischen Schreibens sind teilnahmebeschränkt und setzen den Abschluss eines Philosophischen Einstiegs voraus. Wenn Sie bereits einen Philosophischen Einstieg absolviert haben UND aufgrund eines Studiengangwechsels in Philosophie lediglich ins erste Fachsemester eingeschrieben sind, schreiben Sie bitte eine Mail an awedelstaedt@uni-bielefeld.de, um frühzeitig zu korrigieren, dass das System Sie in diesem Fall fälschlich nicht zu einem Schreibenkurs zulassen wird.
Sie müssen nur einen Philosophischen Schreibkurs während Ihres Studiums belegen (entweder im Grundmodul Theoretische Philosophie oder im Grundmodul Praktische Philosophie). Sie sollten aber, falls man Ihnen in Ihrer Wunschveranstaltung keinen Platz zuweisen kann, mindestens zwei Veranstaltungen, die als Philosophisches Schreiben ausgewiesen sind, in Ihren Stundenplan aufnehmen, die Sie auch tatsächlich besuchen könnten. Auf diese Weise können Ihnen Alternativplätze zugewiesen werden, wenn es in Ihrer Wunschveranstaltung keinen Platz gibt. Damit das System weiß, welche Veranstaltungen Sie am liebsten besuchen möchten, priorisieren Sie Ihre Veranstaltungen (über den Link "Meine Prioritäten" neben Ihrem Stundenplan).
Wichtig: Speichern Sie die Veranstaltungen spätestens zum 18.03.2021 in Ihrem Stundenplan ab und priorisieren Sie sie. Die Platzvergabe erfolgt elektronisch zu einem Datum kurz vor Semesterbeginn. Sobald Ihnen ein Platz zugewiesen wurde, erscheint in der Detailansicht Ihres Stundenplans neben der Veranstaltung ein grüner Pfeil.
