Science Matters: Humanities As Complex Systems

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: All earnest and honest human quests for knowledge are efforts to understand Nature, which includes both human and nonhuman systems, the objects of study in science. Thus, broadly speaking, all these quests are in the science domain. The methods and tools used may be different, for example, the literary people use mainly their bodily sensors and their brain as the information processor, while natural scientists may use, in addition, measuring instruments and computers. Yet, all these activities could be viewed in a unified perspective - they are scientific developments at varying stages of maturity and have a lot to learn from each other.That `everything in Nature is part of science` was well recognized by Aristotle, da Vinci and many others. Yet, it is only recently, with the advent of modern science and experiences gathered in the study of statistical physics, complex systems and other disciplines, that we know how the human-related disciplines can be studied scientifically. `Science… [detailed...]

Science Rules: A Historical Introduction to Scientific Methods

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Is there a universal set of rules for discovering and testing scientific hypotheses? Since the birth of modern science, philosophers, scientists, and other thinkers have wrestled with this fundamental question of scientific practice. Efforts to devise rigorous methods for obtaining scientific knowledge include the twenty-one rules Descartes proposed in his Rules for the Direction of the Mind and the four rules of reasoning that begin the third book of Newton`s Principia, and continue today in debates over the very possibility of such rules. Bringing together key primary sources spanning almost four centuries, Science Rules introduces readers to scientific methods that have played a prominent role in the history of scientific practice. Editor Peter Achinstein includes works by scientists and philosophers of science to offer a new perspective on the nature of scientific reasoning. For each of the methods discussed, he presents the original formulation of the method, selections… [detailed...]

Rebecca Culshaw
Science Sold Out: Does HIV Really Cause AIDS?

2007 y.
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
Description: There are many well-established scientific reasons that the HIV/AIDS hypothesis is highly doubtful. In `Science Sold Out`, Rebecca Culshaw describes her slow uncovering of these reasons over her years researching HIV for her work constructing mathematical models of its interaction with the immune system. It is rare that a researcher who has received funding to study HIV ever expresses any doubt in the paradigm, and an even rarer event still when she abandons the field altogether. This book focuses on the changing definition of AIDS and the flaws in all HIV testing. In a much broader sense, it explains how the current, government-based structure of scientific research has corrupted science as the search for truth. It offers not only scientific reasons for HIV/AIDS being untenable, but also sociological explanations as to how the theory was accepted by the media and the world so quickly. In particular, this book offers a scathing criticism of the outrageous discriminatory measures that… [detailed...]

Science and Innovation: Rethinking the Rationales for Funding and Governance (New Horizons in the Economics of Innovation Series)

Description: Book DescriptionThis book re-examines the rationale for public policy, concluding that the prevailing ?public knowledge? model is evolving towards a ?networked? or ?distributed? model of knowledge production and use in whichpublic and private institutions play complementary roles. It provides a set of tools and models to assess the impact of the new network model of funding and governance. Governments need to adapt their funding and administrative priorities and procedures to support the emergence and healthy growth of research networks. Interdependencies and complementarities in the production and distribution of knowledge require a new and more contextual, flexible and complex approach to government funding, monitoring and assessment. The chapters in this book issue a series of challenges to the next generation of science and technology policy. The need for new systems of governance in science and innovation make a single, all encompassing… [detailed...]

Science and Religion, 1450--1900: From Copernicus to Darwin

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Galileo. Newton. Darwin. These giants are remembered for their great contributions to science. Often forgotten, however, is the profound influence that Christianity had on their lives and work. This study explores the many ways in which religion -- its ideas, attitudes, practices, and institutions -- interacted with science from the beginnings of the Scientific Revolution to the end of the nineteenth century. Both scientists and persons of faith sometimes characterize the relationship between science and religion as confrontational. Historian Richard G. Olson finds instead that the interactions between science and religion in Western Christendom have been complex, often mutually supportive, even transformative. This book explores those interactions by focusing on a sequence of major religious and intellectual movements -- from Christian Humanist efforts to turn science from a primarily contemplative exercise to an activity aimed at improving the quality of human life, to the… [detailed...]
