INTRO TO HISTORY OF SCIENCE
Part I The notion of "science" encompasses both our accumulated knowledge about the world and the methods employed to acquire that knowledge. This includes two main practices: observation and experimentation. Observation involves meticulously scrutinizing specific aspects of the world, such as Darwin's dedicated study of barnacles, orchids, turtles, and birds. Experimentation, on the other hand, entails conducting tests to answer questions about the world, exemplified by the famous experiment conducted by Simon Stevin and Jan Cornets de Groot with metal balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The motto of the Royal Society, "NULLIUS IN VERBA" or "on no one's word," emphasizes the importance of individual verification, encouraging everyone to test hypotheses independently. Established in 1660, the Royal Society played a pivotal role in promoting physic-mathematical experimental learning, and its motto reflects a commitment to empirical evidence over blind acceptance. While early practitioners were called Natural Philosophers, the term "scientist" emerged later in the 19th century. The history of science is diverse, spanning various cultures and knowledge systems, necessitating an understanding of science as a historical and social concept with evolving norms and practices. As the series explores different knowledge worlds, it highlights the dynamic nature of our understanding of the universe, encouraging a recognition of the historical context and societal influences shaping scientific endeavors. The course aims to pose five overarching questions about the nature of reality, life, Earth's place in the cosmos, the concept of time, and the agreement on knowledge. The exploration of these questions offers insight into both historical and contemporary scientific inquiries, emphasizing the continuous evolution of human attempts to comprehend the universe and the reciprocal relationship between scientific knowledge, societal values, and ethical considerations.

Naomi-Women Of The Bible
Introduction to the character of Naomi: Feminist assessments of Naomi diverge widely, depending often upon the cultural, social, ideological, and experiential biases of readers. A sampling includes the following: Naomi is a cipher for male values that find fulfillment for women in marriage and children. In contrast to the loss of status for childless widows in patriarchy, Naomi achieves importance as a mother-in-law and an independent character. Naomi is an overbearing, interfering, and domineering mother-in-law. Naomi is a caring, gracious, and altruistic mother-in-law. Naomi the Judean rejects Ruth and Orpah because she is a Moabite. Naomi embraces Ruth the Moabite within the family of Judah. Naomi and Ruth are rivals, with Naomi eventually achieving the greater prestige. Naomi and Ruth are friends, indeed sisterlike, each seeking the good of the other in a world over which they have little control. Naomi schemes, connives, and manipulates. Naomi plans, reflects, and executes. Naomi is an embittered old woman who denounces God for her troubles but fails to thank the deity when she recovers. Naomi is a profound figure of faith who experiences God as enemy but then wrestles blessing from adversity. All such disparate judgments attest to Naomi’s commanding, if ambiguous, presence in one of the few biblical stories focused on women.
