Episodes in the History of Science I































































 
Is Islam an enemy of science? Did the Catholic Church oppress free 
thinking? What does it mean to be a scientist in a world where there is 
no running water and absolutely no laboratories? 
Surgery without anesthetics and antibiotics, anyone? Could astrology be 
the reason why we have modern science at all? 































































 
Where do we draw the border between myth and knowledge? This course 
covers the development of science from the Mesopotamian Ziggurat to 
Copernicus's deathbed and is intended to be the first of two consecutive 
courses that will help develop a deeper understanding of our own scientific 
culture. We will be treating science mainly as a cultural institution, whose 
development was neither necessary nor predictable. And we will be 
addressing some of the core issues of interest regarding science, such as 
the relationship between science and religion or the border between what 
counts as science and what does not.
