philosophers. The goal of this course is to introduce you to some of the main areas and topics at the key juncture between philosophy and the
physical sciences. Each week we will introduce you to some of these important questions at the forefront of scientific research. We will explain

Un curso muy completo y fácil de digerir sobre la cosmología y el principio antrópico, muy recomendable para la comprensión que se tiene sobre el universo actualmente y la razón de nuestra existencia.

Though familiar with the material, the lectures made several very nice key points about the Philosophy of Science which I found useful. However there are a few issues :
-a lot of the lecturing is on a board which is hard to read
-there is a lot more science than there is Philosophy
The latter isn't necessarily a bad thing, but based on the title I expected more of the latter.

Really informative. Equations were a bit difficult to understand. I felt that there was a bias towards anthropic principle.

Very technical and focuses more on cosmology than on the principles of Philosophy of Science

It would be better if you didn't use Cosmology in this course. Because it is hard to grasp and it seems to be more speculative.
