End of February identify some relevant texts. The texts must be related to different scientific paradigms and connected philosophical issues and implications (Aristoteles, Galileo-Newton, Einstein); these texts should be read by the pupils at home as a preliminary work for seminar-like preparatory meetings (3-4 altogether) through which they will come to exactly identify different paradigms and dominant scientific ideas underlying them, as well as reciprocal objections and oppositions among them, or anticipations of new ideas that at the very beginning were supposed to be nonsense from the scientific point of view but were later to be vindicated (see e.g. Eureka by Allan Poe, available on the Gutenberg project web site)
