DESCRIPTION:2018 Erik C. Banks Memorial Lecture in Philosophy“Ernst Mach’s 
 Vienna: The Place of History and Philosophy in Science”Dr. Don HowardProfe
 ssor of PhilosophyUniversity of Notre DameToday we are locked in a vigorou
 s debate over the place of the humanities in STEM education. In past times
 \, however\, this debate did not exist\, for it was once widely assumed th
 at history and philosophy played a vital role in the training of young sci
 entists. In this talk\, Don Howard will present that story by focusing on 
 the career and work of the prominent Viennese physicist\, Ernst Mach\, who
  also became famous as one of the most important historians and philosophe
 rs of science in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Mach’s appoint
 ment to a chair in the history and philosophy of science at the University
  of Vienna in 1895 marked the beginning of a long and influential traditio
 n of integrating history and philosophy of science in science pedagogy. Ho
 ward will also discuss the equally edifying example of Albert Einstein\, w
 ho likewise prized the role of history and philosophy in science teaching 
 and who acknowledged a great debt to Mach for having taught him this lesso
 n.Don Howard is the former director and Fellow of the University of Notre 
 Dame’s Reilly Center for Science\, Technology\, and Values\, where he now 
 functions as co-director of the Center’s ethics of emerging technologies f
 ocus area. He holds a permanent appointment as a Professor in the Departme
 nt of Philosophy. With a first degree in physics (B.Sc.\, Lyman Briggs Col
 lege\, Michigan State University\, 1971)\, Howard went on to obtain both a
 n M.A. (1973) and a Ph.D. (1979) in philosophy from Boston University\, wh
 ere he specialized in philosophy of physics under the direction of Abner S
 himony.
