What is science? This question easy to answer the seem unfortunately: everybody knows mà như subjects physics, chemistry, and biology constitute science, while subjects như art, music, and theology do not. But as Philosophers chúng khi ask what science is, that is not the sort of answer We Want. We are not asking for a mere list of the Activities That Are Thường gọi "science". Rather, We Are asking what common feature all the things on mà list share, ie what it is That Makes something a science. Understood this way, our question is not so trivial.
But unfortunately you still think the question is Relatively straightforward. Surely science is just the thử hiểu, explain, and predict the World We Live In? This is certainly a reasonable answer. But is it the whole story? After all, the various Religions am also thử hiểu and explain the world, but religion is not Thường Regarded as a branch of science. Or như history. Historians try to explain what happened hiểu and in the past, but history is Thường Classified as an arts subject not a science subject. As with many Philosophical questions presented, the question 'what is science? "Turns out to be trickier than it looks at sight.
Many People Believe Distinguishing features of science rằng cork print the particular methods scientists of use to Investigate the world. This suggestion is quite plausible. For many sciences by Distinctive employ methods of inquiry được not found in non-scientific's discipline. An example is the use of Obvious Experiments, marks a turning-point Historically in the development of modern science. Not all the sciences are experimental though-astronomers can not do Experiments Obviously on heavens, but have to content with carefull observation thay Themselves. The same is true of many social sciences. Another feature of science is important, the construction of Theories. Scientists do not simply record the results of experiment and observation in a log book - they want to explain những Thường print results of a general theory terms. This is not always easy to do, but some striking successes những được. One of the key problems of science is to print philosophy hiểu how như TECHNIQUES Experimentation, observation, and theory-construction have enabled scientists of to unravel nature's secrets than many of.
