    The details of the next public meeting of the Irish Skeptics Society are as follows:


    Philosophy & Science: Connection, disconnection, consequences

    Professor Helena Sheehan, Dublin City University

    Weds. June 6th at 8.00pm
    Davenport hotel, Merrion Sq., Dublin 2.
    Admission: €3 (Members / Concessions) €6 (Non-members)


    In the beginning, they were one. As the social division of labour
    accelerated and knowledge advanced, philosophy and science diverged
    further and further from each other, bringing us to the situation today.
    All disciplines proliferate into sub-disciplines of sub-disciplines. We
    know more and more about less and less. Who sees the whole picture? The
    lecture will sketch the historical trajectory of intellectual
    specialisation, its advantages and its disadvantages. It will focus
    particularly on the need of science for philosophy and the consequences
    of lack of philosophical grounding for science.
