Why Science and Philosophy Need Each Other
Dr Tevin Naidu in conversation with Lauren Ross & Megan Peters
About this episode
Why do science and philosophy so often stand apart - and what happens when they come back together?
In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Tevin Naidu brings together Prof Lauren Ross (philosopher of science, UC Irvine) and Prof Megan Peters (computational neuroscientist, UC Irvine) to explore why modern science still depends on philosophical insight - and why philosophy needs to engage with empirical rigor.
