The course establishes connections among the three chief fields that constitute HEPS: history, economics, and philosophy of science. It complements and integrates the three separate introductions to these fields (taught in the Introductory Module of HEPS). The course aims at amalgamating these three perspectives and at preparing an interdisciplinary approach at reflecting the sciences.
The course is introductory in character and suited for all students, including beginners, interested in gaining an overview of interdisciplinary science studies.
