History and Philosophy of Science, PhD

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

The history and philosophy of science is an interdisciplinary field that traces its origin to foundational works such as Thomas Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions." The field is based on the idea that the best way to understand science is to study how it changes over time, along with careful analysis of its concepts, theories and practices. The Doctor of Philosophy program in history and philosophy of science combines training in the core areas of history and philosophy of science with an emphasis on interdisciplinary studies of the sciences, including: computational history and philosophy of science, conceptual foundations of biology, including evolution ecology, genetics and development general philosophy of science and epistemology history and philosophy of applied ethics and science policy history of 19th- and 20th-century biology
