Join us for the next meeting of the “Philosophical Survival School”, where we will look at the foundations of science and at the question of what the laws of nature actually are.
During the meeting we will compare three philosophical positions: scepticism, realism and fallibilism. Each of them answers differently the question of whether science really describes reality or rather creates interpretations of it.
– Do the laws of nature exist independently of us?
– Does science give us certain knowledge of the world?
– Are our theories lasting, or are they subject to constant change?
We will explore all these questions and many more in an open discussion. It is a chance to consider how far we can trust science and how we understand its role in today’s world.

Philosophical Survival School. About the project
“Philosophical Survival School” is a series of open discussions, debates and lectures created by the Wrocław Centre for Social Development (WCRS) in cooperation with the Applied Philosophy Student Research Group at the University of Wrocław. The third edition of the series starts on 17 April and will explore the philosophy of science, the philosophy of yoga, rhetoric in the media, Władysław Tatarkiewicz’s theory of happiness and philosophical interpretations of computer games. The initiative is aimed at anyone seeking philosophical sensitivity in getting to know themselves and the world around them, and who would also like to share their own experience.
