Добавлен 4 июл 2015
My name is Hakob Barseghyan. I teach history and philosophy of science at Victoria College, University of Toronto. It is my goal to help my students appreciate how fascinating both the history and philosophy of science are.
In my videos, I discuss a number of important philosophical questions: Can we know anything with absolute certainty? Is there a universal and unchangeable method of science? What is the mechanism of scientific change? What demarcates science from non-science? Can scientific theories provide true descriptions of the world? Is there scientific progress?
I also outline the scientific worldviews accepted in different periods of the history of science. In particular, I focus on the key components of the four major scientific worldviews - Aristotelian-medieval, Cartesian, Newtonian, and Contemporary (Quantum-Relativistic).

Anyone else is rewatching this series of lectures years after they have graduated! 😅meeeee! 🙋🏾♀️
Thanks for the great lectures! Is problem 3 (Theory-Ladeness) sort of analogous to the Duhem-Quine thesis, in the sense that you can't test some theory in isolation of other theories (acknowledged or tacit)?
Very Western-focused, no? Would be nice with some information about Arabic, Chinese and Indian science as well.
Your explanation are awesome and I fall in love because of your teaching style .You are really wonderful teacher..❤❤❤
Super ❤teaching
14:50 The career is shown by the Midheaven, and which planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars aspect it most closely. Only a fool would ignore the Lot of Fortune. Astrology as you know it is unscientific. I agree. In actuality, its totally legit -- just not in the Newtonian framework. The rediscovery and translation and elucidation of the primary source text of astrology going back, according to conventional chronology, some 2500 years, has been rather illuminating. But of course, when it comes to scholarship, unless the scholar takes the materials seriously, you couldn't really expect to find anything of value. Plato, Eudoxus and Aristotle were not exactly dumbasses.
By the way, recent scholarship has uncovered the fact that the Aristotelian elements -- so called -- are, as a matter of fact, those of _Eudoxus._ See Project Hindsight / Robert Schmidt. The guy who named the Constellations concealed in their names codes pertaining to the four elements, their dynamic interplay etc
The world wishes you cared about your heart chakra as much as you do your se-x chakra
Excellent discourse. Thank you so much!
Great course
Amazing
First and foremost, Thank you Hakob and team for putting together such valuable information and for making it available for the general public. We were trying to find all the video lectures but they seem to have been removed. Is there a paid membership or any other route to regain access to such great work? Please let us know if there is a Patreon account or any other way to contribute to your fantastic work and to be able to have full access to those video lectures again. Thank you
Same question
Hakob, what happened to the other lecture videos? They were being so helpful 😭
This was a helpful, yet ultimately flawed presentation. (1) Knowing the history of science, philosophy of science, is useful. (2) This course just ignores a major aspect of that history - Kant and German idealism (he gets one sentence in the last chapter of the book), changes in logic (never mentioned), naturalistic theories (Quine, etc.), rejections of the analytic/synthetic distinction, and no interaction with Kuhn and Polanyi (even if wrong, their influence merits discussion). (3) In the end, I wouldn't even push this as a high school course unless the above glaring problems are changed. (4) The course does better in one area than all other courses in this area - it covers Cartesian science vastly better than every other text. I would use this area to keep for further study.
5:14 ... and there are many more.
I really appreciate the narrative you created for this. Connected more of the puzzle pieces than most do for me. Thank you.
Might be something cultural but isn't it a little rude the way they were criticizing his example? I mean common it's just an analogy it's not made to be a perfectly example of how relativity works.
31:50 In my culture, we also do that when people sneeze. Wow, Hakob. Stellar mind.
49:57 He had a nerve tick like Billie Eilish.
30:50 When the story of Hakob's girlfriend comes up, why do girls touch their ears and hair? 🤣😂😂😂
One of the best lecture series I ever watched...Thanks Hakob Sir
Thank you for this good explanation!
Please make your lectures public again!!
I graduated several years ago, and I'm still recommending these lectures to friends of mine Hakob you are easily one of the best teachers at U of T. I hope you're able to continue teaching the Aristotelean Worldview course because I loved it
Dear sir, you are an amazing teacher! I really enjoy this lecture series. As a sociology student, it’s wonderfull to learn this background.
Ow, this is interesting…
But how can we be so sure that the way we count isn't based in experience?
Absolutely fantastic! This is exactly what I was looking for. The algorithm worked perfectly this time.
I just finished my entire course. It is the best course about HPS. Very precious resources in Internet. Thanks!
His girlfriend: so you think I am not funny and clever ha?
amazing lecture! !
Very informative lecture... Thanks for sharing 😇😇😇
You are great thank you so much
This is a great lecture. You are very good at it. Simple and clear.
Amazing lecture but how could he leave out Hume when discussing the induction problem? Especially since he mentioned Kant who was reacting to Hume!
look, the gates are very fucked up people, like I regret having to have made them the center of attention for this long . I have literally grown to hate them in recent months, just absolute psychopaths, fucking narcissist, abusive, mentally enraged little nazis and then you have the local police using their anti-social behavior, including their intimidating me into a relationship, to their advantage ... as in, if the bastards Gates can do it, then the public should overlook all of the abuses which we have inflicted on Ali.. and I just want to say, neither this nor that, I don't intend on letting go of anything, specially since I have been on the receiving end of oppression, letting you psychopaths get off with your share of liability would only encourage future instances where the government and the elite will easily be able to get away with murder... that is not going to happen.
I cannot describe to you just how much I hate, I mean, I can't stand a thought of her now, I hate jenn gates, what an utter psychotic person.. holy shit, I think I got lucky and she ended up exposing her true self or else I would have been fucked in the future..

Sir, do you have a book written on Philosophy of Science
Hi Younis, for a more thorough exposition of the material please refer to our introductory HPS textbook at hakobsandbox.openetext.utoronto.ca/.
Hi professor Hakob, I want to thank you for the lectures you shared with the world about the scientific method, with no doubt, The lectures are better than any lesson I’ve received in the entirety of my education. but i still have a question if you don't mind, why didn't you mentione francis bacon? his name was all the time related on the development of the scientific method? thank you again
Scientific theories are just descriptive representations that serve to conceptually model some aspect(s) of reality -- just like maps. As we all know, maps aren't identical to the terrain they're used to represent, nor do they have to be. So long as their accuracy is sufficient to the task of navigation, they're true enough.
42:20 did Descartes believe there was air on the moon? If all the mines matter (gasses) coagulate at the periphery of the vortex (near the moon) and there is pressure of gasses everywhere within the vortex, it stands to reason that there is air in the moon.
Such a great instructor.
25:00 you won't regret it
Awesome! An awesome lecture!
I greatly appreciate these lectures Professor Barseghyan; thank you! I love the visuals and the story telling; it brings the concepts to life. I want to mention however, that at 27:05 -- isn't the student asking: would a machine (or animals) be able to sense the true nature of the external world reliably? The other student responded that we may not be able to perceive what the machine perceives, but I don't think that answered the question. I did not understand the question to be: can the machine perceive accurately and then we can be sure of what the machine shows us as being accurate. But if that is correct, can you please answer my question above? Or is it not answerable yet?
