Representing the World:
Determination and Chaos
8 credits
Faculty: Allen Mauney, ext. 5458, email: Allen Mauney,
and Joe Tougas, ext. 5052, email: Joe Tougas
MW, 6 - 10p, LIB 1316
CRN: 10254
A perennial project in every culture has been the quest
to understand, predict or control the immediate physical
universe. Is it possible to do any of these? Is there
enough regularity in our world to support a deterministic
world view? Or do things happen randomly? Can we ever
know what will happen next? If the world is fundamentally
chaotic, this project may be a colossal waste of time.
We will examine various systems that attempt to
explain a huge chunk of the workings of the world. Not
content with looking at other people’s results,
we will build and use devices to collect our own astronomical
data. In our analysis of the data, we will look for
signs of order and chaos, compare our conclusions with
those of earlier investigators and generate original
questions.
We will begin by studying the works of Plato, Augustine
and Newton to get a feel for philosophers and scientists
that have described the universe primarily in terms
of order. Modern inquiries have shown us that chaos
and indeterminacy are fundamental aspects of reality
also. We will study chaos theory, quantum physics and
the works of Nietzsche and Wittgenstein to conclude
our exploration of the world.
Credit will be awarded in history of science, philosophy
and college mathematics.

underpinnings of U.S. health care by examining historical
development and underlying values; through functionalism,
political economy and social constructionist lenses;
mind/body/spirit and pathways of delivery through alternative
