Abstract
In Winter 2023-4, I taught a Masters seminar called “Discrimination Through the Lens of Philosophy of Science” at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, LMU Munich. The course covered topics related to discrimination that intersected with more general themes from philosophy of science and involved a wide range of readings from philosophy, sociology, causal inference, legal studies, and the philosophy of artificial intelligence. I was surprised by the extent to which these readings from independent disciplines and sub-disciplines engaged with a common set of questions and debates. Because there does not appear to be a textbook or course that covers the range of topics we considered, I here give a summary of the course in the hope of encouraging others to develop such courses and textbooks. Additionally, I think it would be possible to develop an introductory philosophy of science course called “Philosophy of Science Through the Lens of Discrimination” but such a course would only be feasible given a textbook or alternate readings, as the syllabus for this course was ambitious even for an MA seminar.
