Beschreibung
This brief sets out on a course to distinguish three main kinds of thought that underlie scientific thinking.
Current science has not agreed on an understanding of what exactly the aim of science actually is, how to understand scientific knowledge, and how such knowledge can be achieved. Furthermore, no science today also explicitly admits the fact that knowledge can be constructed in different ways and therefore every scientist should be able to recognize the form of thought that under-girds their understanding of scientific theory. In response to this, this texts seeks to answer the questions: What is science? What is (scientific) explanation? What is causality and why it matters?
Fresh look at causality as it applies in social sciences Links of philosophy and psychology Explores scientific inquiry through the lens of psychology
