Module overview

The Royal Society took as its motto the phrase, Nulius in Verba: “Take nobody’s word for it.” Ultimately, science and societies based on the scientific method triumphed because of a desirable focus on evidence and reason. From primitive times, through the Bronze Age and down to the medieval era, humanity was driven by cruelty and superstition. Things began to change during the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason.

This module considers the importance of self doubt, evidence based thinking and some of the cognitive tools we need to make sense of Reality and the world around us.
