WELL BEING AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE

-

The term philosophy comes from the Greek for “love of wisdom”. Philosophy of science is one of the formal philosophy that wondered about science and its scientific methods. It can be defined as the study of understanding of scientific things and its scientific processes or methods. Philosophy doesn’t account its processes to limited knowledge, but is concerned with the variety of principles and laws of all things in the nature.

Science can be defined as a systematic process that gain up knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Science is made up of theories that have an observable consequence. Philosophy of science can be divided into four important sections which are the concept of philosophy of science, the relationship between science and philosophy, science and pseudoscience, as well as the scientific method and well known philosophers and scientists.

The concept of philosophy of science is concentrated more on the assumptions, foundations, methods, implications of science, and with the use and merit of science. Nowadays, science and philosophy are more related to each other. This is because science is based on theories that have observable consequences which must agree with the previous theories. Apart from those above, philosophy of science is also discussed on science and pseudoscience from Karl Popper’s view. Karl Popper is a professor of logic and Scientific Method at University of London. He claimed that a theory can be classified as scientifically when it has a principle which is testable by experiments. Popper figured out the way to distinguish between science and pseudo-science. The important difference seems to be in which approach gives better logical justification for knowledge claims. Scientific claims are falsifiable and pseudo-scientific claims are not. In science, there are the methods that should be followed in making sure that the things are accepted to be science. It is called as scientific methods which are divided into empirical and non-empirical method. In scientific methods, there will always be questions of inquiry, research on the topics, hypothesis and its test, analyzing the data a finalization of the results.

In conclusion, it can be seen that science and philosophy are related to each other. Without philosophy, science cannot be improved. While scientist do observe the date of their experiments, philosophers examine it and the reason through it. Science help to increase the worlds technology and philosophy do develop the world wise system. And the study of philosophy enhances our ability to evaluate and resolve problems. It will help us to analyze concepts, definitions, arguments, and problems. It contributes to our capacity to organize ideas and issues, to deal with questions of value, and to extract what is essential from masses of information.

PHILOSOPHY MAKES US A BETTER LEADER

A leadership philosophy is essentially a belief system that guides our decision-making. It consists of our core principles, perspectives, and values. When we define what they are, and use them to shape a leadership philosophy statement, our behaviors and decisions will remain consistent. To operate a team, organization, or business successfully, we need a strong leadership ideology. We'll stay dedicated to our goals and be more likely to excite and inspire our colleagues on a regular basis if our leadership style is based on a solid set of values and beliefs. That doesn't imply we're confident in our ability to craft a leadership philosophy statement. It might be difficult to fully comprehend how to build a mindset that gives a solid basis for long-term success. It needs to be that way. We'll have a better understanding of what we need to do to create your own leadership philosophy by examining examples. But first, it's critical to understand just ...

NATURE OF SCIENCE AND THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

 WHAT IS SCIENCE Most scientists would not say that science leads to an understanding of the truth. Science is a determination of what is most likely to be correct at the current time with the evidence at our disposal. Scientific explanations can be inferred from confirmable data only, and observations and experiments must be reproducible and verifiable by other individuals. In other words, good science is based on information that can be measured or seen and verified by other scientists. Explanations that cannot be based on empirical evidence are not a part of science (National Academy of Sciences, 1998).  SCIENTIFIC METHOD   Throughout the past millennium, there has been a realization by leading thinkers that the acquisition of knowledge can be performed in such a way as to minimize inconsistent conclusions. Rene Descartes established the framework of the scientific method in 1619, and his first step is seen as a guiding principle for many in the field...

THE THOUGHTS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE AND PERCEPTUAL LEARNING

 NEW LOOK AT LEARNINIG We all learn throughout our lives. We learn how to tie our shoes, the best route to get to the mall, which friends we can trust, how to find the area of a circle, and how to write a research paper. Surprisingly, very few people are taught how to learn.      1. Knowing how our brain learns All learning begins with sensory information. Our brains are constantly bombarded with information from the body's sensory receptors. Continuous data reports flow from specialized sensory systems (hearing, vision, taste, touch, smell) and from the sensory nerve endings in our muscles, joints, and internal organs. When we review or practice something we've learned, dendrites actually grow between nerve cells in the network that holds that memory. Each time we review that knowledge, this mental manipulation increases activity along the connections between nerve cells. And that makes the memory stay in your brain.     2. K nowing which strategies bring ...
