 Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2014 9:39 pm Subject: Fukuyama's "End of History" |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:58 pm Subject: Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger |
| Well, w/r/t Bohr, I was pretty surprised (and excited) to see his description of the atom compared to Kierkegaard's description of faith (I think the writer was referring to what Kierkegaard called kn ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2014 9:05 pm Subject: Einstein, Michaelson, Morley and More |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2014 9:05 pm Subject: Newton Reading - How did Light change science? |
| Well, I think the more general way in whcich the question 'what is light?' affected the trajectory of science lies in Newton's redefining of the scientific method. Although I have a hard time in under ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2014 8:05 pm Subject: Contat and Cats |
| For some reason, I feel very hesitant to authoritatively dismiss Contat as a historian. While I think this kind of approach might be a little too abstract and dependent on a sort of pernicious relativ ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Mon Apr 14, 2014 9:41 pm Subject: Philosophies and Methodologies of Science and History |
| I have a very difficult time thinking about these questions. In trying to have a better understanding of Hegel, I came across this interesting quote: “What is obtained in this field of labor is the tr ... | |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2014 9:48 pm Subject: Kant and Hegel |

Forum: Art of Prediction - Mod 6, 2014 Posted: Thu Apr 03, 2014 9:39 pm Subject: Galileo |
