The scientific revolution transformed our understanding of the world around us and of ourselves, and this explosion of knowledge and discovery continues to this day. It is a paradox however that science cannot justify its own existence or its processes without referring to philosophy and yet philosophy often plays little part in the training and work of scientists. In this presentation, Professor Ellaway will explore different philosophical constructs and challenges of importance to medical education researchers and encourage participants to be more mindful of and engaged with the philosophical foundations of the work they do.
