Provide a philosophical analysis of your scientific controversy. You will assess whether your controversy is a real scientific controversy or a created controversy (this is a technical term introduced in your Harker book). If it is real you should explain what the source of the scientific disagreement was and how it was resolved (if it was resolved). You should evaluate whether, and to what extent, your controversy undermines the authority of science. If you decide your controversy was created, you should analyze how this occurred (on the model of the examples that Harker gives in Chapters 8, 9, and 10). The final version of the paper should be 6-10 pages long, and must respond to every part of the assignment (it should include your historical background and your philosophical analysis, as well as a bibliography of sources).
The historical background is already complete and attached to the post, need only 3 pages for the Philosophical Analysis of a Scientific Controversy.
