The philosophy of science is the branch of philosophy which deals with the study of science (in the sense of "natural science"). Key topics include the motivation for scientific approaches; the means for determining the validity of information; the formulation and use of the scientific method ; the types of reasoning used to arrive at conclusions; and the implications of scientific methods and models for the larger society, and for the sciences themselves. This article is not exhaustive; it covers only those topics that are seen as central by all of the major philosophies of science. As with the philosophy of mathematics , there tend to be 'schools' of scientific thought, each of which adheres to its own principles. 'Each of these in future deserves its own article(s)'.

Georges Seurat: Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte. Sociology 511 The Philosophy of Science The scientist has no other method than doing his damnedest. P.W. Bridgman. In Sociology 511 we will learn the basic techniques of the qualitative and quantitative methods most commonly used by sociologists. For each method we will learn how it is applied, its strengths and weaknesses, and the scientific problems to which it is most often applied. We will learn the basic commands of the statistical packages most often used by sociologists (SPSS and SAS). Before turning our attention to methods, however, we will learn the scientific context in which qualitative and quantitative methods are applied. We will learn the characteristics that make science a unique form of knowledge. And we will learn some basic information about how to conduct science. The purpose of the course is to provide you with: 1) basic information about a wide variety of methods you can use to conduct scientific inquiry, and 2) a scientific perspective on inquiry that can inform your methodological decisions. I hope you find the course to be intellectually stimulating, useful in your life, and an enjoyable experience.

Science is popularly viewed as a cumulative and progressive activity. However this view has profound philosophical implications, and in fact the effort to define the nature of science is in itself part of the history of philosophy.

PHIL 4500 - Philosophy of Science - Fall 2002 S yllabus Instructor Objectives Texts Topics ... Calendar ORIENTATION "The Garden of Eden was lost for partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, lost not for lust but for curiosity, not for sex but for science" (Nelson Goodman). In this course, neither fluency nor even passing acquaintance with the history and practice of Western science is presupposed; curiosity, on the other hand, is. Curiosity, notwithstanding the proverbial fate of the proverbial cat, lies at the marrow of all intellectual passion—where art , science, and philosophy cohere as one single instinct: the irrepressible human need to explore, to explain, to inquire. Course Objectives T he course will provide an overview of traditional problems and some recent developments in the philosophy of science. While a number of specific theories and agenda (e.g., relativity theory, quantum mechanics, sociobiology, artificial intelligence) are discussed, emphasis is placed on the conceptual consequences modern science imposes generally on our basic philosophies of knowledge and nature. Topics in both the natural and social sciences will be covered; after considering the experimental and/or theoretical results obtained by selected research communities within the special sciences, students will be encouraged to advance and criticize a variety of philosophical views concerning the aims, methods, and achievements of these sciences.

Some Thoughts on Meditation Spiritualist Basics Links to other places What people think of this site Cathedral of the Pines Who's web site is this? About the Spiritualist Religion Page The term "Spiritualism" has been used very loosely, covering a wide variety of psychic phenomena, philosophy, and spirit communication. This site is focused on the religion of Spiritualism. Spiritualism is a wonderfully non-dogmatic religion, science, and philosophy. Spiritualism invites you to doubt, question, and "prove it" for yourself. Without making you change your religion and sell everything you own. However, many people are unclear as to what Spiritualism is really about. How can it possibly be a religion, philosophy and a SCIENCE? How can you make a religion out of "psychic readings"? Do Spiritualists believe in God, or is this just some satanic thing? Having been raised Catholic (and later becoming Zen Buddhist), I asked some of these questions myself when I first became involved in Spiritualism. I had other questions too. The answer to one question often brought up more. Before long I had a whole bunch of questions and thoughts. After some years of classes, thinking, meditating, and thinking some more, I had a few answers. But it wasn't all spelled out in one place. So I wrote
