Course Description:
(This talk is part of the symposium on philosophy of science)
The objectivity of science has been attacked on many fronts.

Topics that will be covered in the lectures include: the problem of induction, theory and observation, Karl Popper, scientific realism, and Thomas Kuhn. Relevant work done by Objectivist scholars, including Harriman, Kelley, Machan, Peikoff, and Rand, will be discussed.
