While Peirce‚ Bacon‚ Kuhn and Polkinghorn are all Empiricists‚ I can relate mostly with Kuhn’s position regarding universality and objectivity of the scientific method. Kuhn acknowledged that paradigms established by the scientific community shift periodically as new discoveries are made. These new paradigms lead to new questions of existing data and possibly a new direction in the research field. Not simply relying on past research and experience‚ but instead being open to exploring alternatives

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly

An Oxidation-Reduction Scheme Nicolas Gibson Lab Time: Tuesday 11:30 am Abstract: In this experiment‚ the main objective was to synthesize a ketone from borneol via an oxidation reaction and secondly‚ to produce a secondary alcohol from camphor via a reduction reaction. Therefore‚ the hypothesis of this lab is that camphor will be produced in the oxidation reaction and isoborneol will be the product of the reduction reaction because of steric hindrance. For the oxidation step

different features that come about by using oxidation reduction and recording the observations‚ these tests will help determine the specific qualities each solution has. Hypothesis I theorize that nothing will happen with Magnesium because it is such a soft metal. Zinc should turn a greener color‚ because that’s what happens to a lot of statues and sculptures. I theorize that iron will tarnish badly because in air it can get tarnished so oxidation must do something as well. Materials 1 Paper

Preparation of food takes a lot of time. Even if the dish is only composed of fruits. A lot of dishes have vegetables in them. These can also be useful especially when preparing lots of different food at the same time. If you look at cooking websites they will suggest to use lemon water. In our experiment we will attempt to find out which is better at preserving the sliced‚ chopped‚ and or diced food. Since our experiments are limited by time and costs‚ we will stick to the simplest of the available

Divergent theme Veronica Roth’s novel Divergent is not necessarily one that I would have chosen to read on my own‚ at first it was hard to get into the plot itself. However about a hundred pages into the book I found myself interested in the plot of the story. Divergent is a book with truly many themes such as fear‚ family‚ society and class‚ and power. But to me the main theme is choice. The main character’s name is Beatrice Prior‚ who later changed her name to Tris. The entire premise of the

Popper and Kuhn: Two Views of Science In this essay I attempt to answer the following two questions: What is Karl Popper’s view of science? Do I feel that Thomas Kuhn makes important points against it? The two articles that I make reference to are "Science: Conjectures and Refutations" by Karl Popper and "Logic of Discovery or Psychology of Research?" by Thomas Kuhn. Both articles appear in the textbook to this class. In the article‚ "Science: Conjectures and Refutations"‚ Karl Popper attempts

Revolutions‚ Thomas Kuhn argues that empirical science does not involve forming reliable beliefs. Instead‚ empirical science involves forming scientific beliefs simply because they are in accordance with the current paradigm. This would mean that whenever a scientific revolution occurs‚ old beliefs are thrown away in order to be replaced with new ones. As a result‚ Kuhn suggests that one cannot have rational justification for moving from one paradigm to another. To support his argument‚ Kuhn uses the concept
