We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
Maybe we could think of science as being like a nuclear chain reaction in which people and ideas bounce off each other, and if critical mass is reached, a new field is formed.
People wouldn't even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.
I saw science as being in harmony with humanity.
Now obviously the propositions of the system have reference to matters of empirical fact; if they did not, they could have no claim to be called scientific.
Science is not inherently good.
Though many have tried, no one has ever yet explained away the decisive fact that science, which can do so much, cannot decide what it ought to do.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
Science is objective. And in my view we cannot take any experimental results seriously except in the light of good explanations of them.
Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.
