Objectives of the Course

Understanding the relations between the science of history and other sciences. It is necessary to inform students about the current debates in interdisciplinary relations and to give them new horizons. While teaching all these new scientific developments, it will be explained why scientific ethics are necessary for people to think freely. By explaining why and how the world elites and power centers that finance scientific developments support interdisciplinary, post-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies, students will gain a world-scale horizon. With the interdisciplinary relations course, students of the history department will be able to see the effects that take place behind the scenes of the events they encounter in history and will get rid of the habit of trying to explain events based only on documents. What are the rules and values of scientific ethics and how good teaching and application of these rules and methods can improve the legal, political and economic quality of societies.

Course Content

It is not possible to make a correct historical analysis without understanding the relations between the science of history and other disciplines. For this reason, today's historiography has a significant deficiency in this field. History students will be taught how they can benefit from other disciplines in the analysis of historical events. As in the past, the science of physics has a great influence on social sciences. Just as the Newtonian understanding of the universe had a great impact on social, political and metaphysical fields in the past, the great developments in physical science today cause great debates and changes in social, political and metaphysical fields. The development of quantum physics, relativity and string theories, double slit experiments will be taught how the issues discussed in modern science affect the world elites and power centers.
