Philosophical and hermeneutical ways of thinking will be introduced to PhD students via several crossdisciplinary examples from the history of philosophy and science: 1) Philosophy: Plato's Parable of the Line 2) Astronomy: the geocentric and heliocentric systems 3) Myth and classical physics: archetypes, axioms and the law of inertia. 4) Quantum theory: the irrationality of reality in terms of the dualism of light and matter or the inexplicability of continuity and discontinuity of phenomena. 5) Quantum thinking: the complementarity of exclusive ideas, concepts, descriptions or experiences in everyday and scientific life. 6) Hermeneutics: the hermeneutic structure of question, being, life, non-object and object (objective) experience of the world or phenomena (phenomena). 7) Methodology of science: Popper, Lakatos, Kuhn and Feyerabend.

The intention of the course is to introduce PhD students to the philosophical thinking that enables: 1) Methodologically "descend beneath" the assumptions, established methods and desired goals of their field of study, with which they consciously and unconsciously approach thinking about their chosen dissertation theme and the processing or interpretation of literature and any archival materials. 2) To ask questions that go beyond those arising as pre-understandings within their field of study. 3) To attempt to arrive at a grasp and interpretation of something in their thesis that has not yet been fully thematized.
