I took HPS250H (Introductory Philosophy of Science) in 2012 Fall. Amazing course. To me, Hakob is PERFECTION. Please keep up the good work! I hope there are more teachers like you in the university, not just great researchers......

+Cindy K Thank you for your kind words, Cindy :)

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

I honestly wish all my lectures were in this format. I love ted talks, and for someone with social anxiety not having to go to a giant lecture hall is amazing! Also the Game of Thrones references are awesome :) Great lecture!

As a future Waterloo student, I wish I could take this course. Sounds fascinating.

Honestly I didn't even know that HPS was an academic discipline until I took a class at the University of Pittsburgh. Really really interesting stuff. I didn't know that there was a completely different way to look at science. Shame I can't take this course because I'm a PITT student. Keep the videos coming!

I watched the whole video without realizing the time! Very clearly explained!

Very interesting, I am excited for this new semester.

Impatiently waiting for the upcoming videos! Great Job! Thanks for sharing

Really enjoyed Lecture 1. I'm doing my PhD in Education and this has been really useful in understand the Western thinkers and great history and philosophy questions which could cross over any discipline. I'm particularly interested in why transitions happen. Look forward to watching the rest. Ngā mihi Hakob. Mauri ora.

Thank you, Piki! I am glad this was useful.

Hello Sir! Thank you so much :) This is one of those few lectures that lasted for more than 20 minutes and yet, I am still so awake and yes, I do not want it to ever end. I am a distant learner, taking up Diploma in Science Teaching at the University of the Philippines Open University. I hope that one day, I could attend one of your lectures in person.

first lecture and I am enjoying this !

You are an amazing lecturer. This was captivating and easy to follow.

Excellent discourse. Thank you so much!

Dear sir, you are an amazing teacher! I really enjoy this lecture series. As a sociology student, it’s wonderfull to learn this background.

+Sandy Serena Thank you for your kind words, Sandy. I am happy you liked it. As for Lecture 2, it will be uploaded next week, right after the first series of our online tutorials.

Appreciate the Queen intro music.

Anyone else is rewatching this series of lectures years after they have graduated! 😅meeeee! 🙋🏾‍♀️

Salvete fellow HPS100 students!

As someone who took the IB diploma program, I realized that many of the concepts that will be explored is actually very similar to Theory of Knowledge (TOK) in IB! This course certainly looks very interesting, and I really enjoyed the lecture!

Wow. This is really well done!

This is amazing. I can feel my mind expanding, thank you very much! (Though my quest for biographies of scientists and the stories around discoveries continues, this was an enlightening detour)

Does this course evaluate arguments for and against Scientific Realism?

@hakobbarseghyan9533

Zerub Roberts Hi Zerub. Yes, the problem of scientific realism is discussed in lecture 5. In particular, we will discuss the "pessimistic induction" argument and "no miracles" argument. Hope this helps.

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.
