Abstract
World views guide our thoughts and our actions even though we may not be aware of it. By means of lectures, discussions and contributions of participants, we examine elements of world views regarding the underlying philosophical concepts and their relations to the sciences, philosophy and religion.
Objective
Students shall obtain a basis for their own exploration of world views, with a focus on new technological developments. Prior knowledge of philosophical concepts and history is not required but are studied in the course.
