The naturalism of the sciences
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2018The sciences are characterized by what is sometimes called a "methodological naturalism," which disregards talk of divine agency.

THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN NATURE AND THE HUMAN NATURE OF SCIENCE
Sign Language Studies, 2005IN 1889, German biologist August Weissmann showed that mice whose tails are cut off do not produce short-tailed offspring. It was a step forward for science, but a step backward for civilization.

Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, 2021
One can hear "Data Science" defined as a synonym for machine learning or as a branch of Statistics. I shall argue that it is far more than that; it is the natural evolution of the technology of very large-scale data management to solve problems in scientific and commercial fields.

The sporting nature of science
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2010There are some intriguing analogies that can be drawn between sports and science. Both are very competitive and require a set of skills that take time to learn, practice, and master. Both involve some degree of experimentation and risk-taking by both the coach and the players. In science as in sports, the battle can be exhausting.

Is Sociology a Natural Science?
American Journal of Sociology, 1949Sociologists have always tried to shape their science according to the model of the natural sciences. Critics of sociology object that sociology is not yet and never will be a science of this type. By "natural science" they mean physics, though they do not say so.
