Selected Readings in Philosophy of Science: “Scientific Realism and the Plasticity of the Mind” (Post-Lecture Notes by the Lecturer, by Jalinus)
Note: Classmate Jalinus was the first to make a PPT since the course began (though the PPT still wasn’t very good, with too many long quoted passages), and the notes he整理ed after class were also very认真, so I hereby commend him~ I was the one who took over for Chapter Five, and in the end I also appended the outline I had sorted out. Discussion-class notes by Jalinus November 28, 2017 Chapter One: The View from Scientific Realism One of Churchland’s major aims in this book is to sketch a new blueprint for human understanding.

[Dutch] R. Hooykaas: “Religion and the Rise of Modern Science”

[Dutch] R. Hooykaas: “Religion and the Rise of Modern Science”
[Dutch] R. Hooykaas: *Religion and the Rise of Modern Science*, translated by Qiu Zhonghui, Qian Futing, and Xu Liemin; edited by Qiu Zhonghui, Sichuan People’s Publishing House, 2nd edition, June 1999 I read this a long time ago, and have just read it again. This book mainly starts from religion, rather than, like Brooke’s *Science and Religion*, placing more emphasis on the history of science. Lately I’ve been reading some very thick books that are impossible to finish in a single day, so I’m just reading these little books on the side to make up the numbers; I won’t write many notes.
