      WELCOME to this course in spring 2018!

      The course format is updated for this year's requirements.
      STUDENT PARTICIPATION AND PRESENTATION: As members and auditors, you are cordially invited to select a specific portion (such as a chapter) of the reading material, which you have read before the sessions begin, for a PRESENTATION.
      Making your selection in agreement with the professor, you may prepare a PowerPoint or other suitable presentation of about 25 minutes (more or less). You can use this to highlight text segments of your own choice and point out specific difficulties of comprehension or discussion points or relevance to specific research questions and topics, or relate the text segments to other research literature you already know. The presentation has the purpose of enabling a better understanding of the chosen reading material and its possible relevance.

    Here are two sample areas of interest for members and auditors to prepare for Session 2:

    For our purposes, you as members and auditors can mostly ignore specific illustrations from such disciplines as physics and chemistry. These appear in the works by Popper and Kuhn, and we will discuss the reasons. But the themes and paradigms are designed to be transferable beyond the natural sciences, and have become relevant in many other disciplines.
