Physics with Philosophy

About this course

Physics and philosophy make for an intellectually compelling combination because they share a concern with the deepest questions about the nature of reality, even as they approach those questions through different means.

Philosophy examines the conceptual foundations and implications of those theories, asking what they tell us about the nature of causation, determinism, the reality of space and time, the status of scientific knowledge, and the relationship between the physical world and human experience.
