Supporting Philosophy, Theology,
Please note that as of the 1st of August 2011 the Subject Centre for PRS entered a 5 month transition phase prior to its closure on the 31st of December 2011. Most pages on this website are no longer being updated, apart from resources from the last academic year's activities.
Philosophy of Science
The Philosophy of Science is a distinct and dynamic discipline that draws on both mainstream problems in philosophy as they are applied to science and specific philosophical issues that arise from the sciences themselves. This diversity present particular challenges in teaching students from different academic backgrounds. The Subject Centre recognises these issues and supports learning and teaching in philosophy of science in all its forms.
