Description

In the lead up to the launch of Season 5, we at The HPS Podcast are re-releasing some favourite episodes from our collection.

In this episode, Professor Hasok Chang talks with Samara Greenwood about his concept of 'Epistemic Iteration', the idea that scientific inquiries do not start from a solid foundation, but rather begin from an imperfect position, using the outcomes of our further inquiry to refine and correct the original starting point.

This episode was originally released on December 4, 2023.

The transcript can be found at - Hasok Chang Transcript - S2 Ep 11
