Welcome Everyone!

This blog complements my lecture course "Introduction to Philosophy of Science" (Online Here). The main idea is to give students the opportunity to post questions, comments, remarks and suggestions anonymously.

When I was an undergraduate, I sometimes didn't dare to ask questions during courses, especially during the early stages of my studies. The idea to raise my arm and ask something like "Sorry, but could you please explain what 'a priori' means?" scared me A LOT. I was pretty sure that everyone else knew and I didn't want to appear illiterate. I thus remained silent and listened to stuff that I didn't really understand. What a waste of time.

Well, if you know the kind of situation I am talking about, then perhaps this blog is what you were looking for. If you have any questions, comments, remarks and suggestions, feel free to post them here. I will either respond online or I will talk about the issue during next class.
