Overview
Both tracks begin from a common core of requirements in standard philosophical fields (e.g., history of philosophy, logic, ethics, metaphysics/epistemology) and branch off thereafter; both lead to the Ph.D. in Philosophy. This Logic and Philosophy of Science program is offered at the University of California, Irvine (UCI).
Learning outcomes
We train our students in core areas that are relevant for Logic and Philosophy of Science and also provide them with knowledge about connections to general philosophy and to the special sciences.
Students will demonstrate basic knowledge about the history of philosophy in the following four areas: Modern Rationalism (Descartes, Leibniz, Malebranche, Spinoza), modern empiricism (Locke, Berkeley, Hume Hobbes, Bacon), Kant, and 20th Century Analytic Philosophy.
Students will acquire knowledge of logic and mathematical logic, especially in set theory, metalogic, Godel’s incompleteness theorems, and computability theory.
Students become familiar with moral philosophy and metaphysics/epistemology.
Students demonstrate competence in philosophy of science, from general philosophy of science to the philosophical study of particular sciences (e.g., physics, biology, linguistics, psychology, or economics).
Students demonstrates specialized knowledge and skills in fields that are connected to their dissertation (such as language skills for historians, mathematical skills for logicians, and knowledge and skills about special sciences for philosophers of science).
