The naturalism of the sciences

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2018
The sciences are characterized by what is sometimes called a "methodological naturalism," which disregards talk of divine agency. In response to those who argue that this reflects a dogmatic materialism, a number of philosophers have offered a pragmatic defense.

Nature of Science Contextualized: Studying Nature of Science with Scientists

Science & Education, 2015
Understanding nature of science (NOS) is widely considered an important educational objective and views of NOS are closely linked to science teaching and learning. Thus there is a lively discussion about what understanding NOS means and how it is reached.

Is machine learning good or bad for the natural sciences?

International Conference on Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) methods are having a huge impact across all of the sciences. However, ML has a strong ontology - in which only the data exist - and a strong epistemology - in which a model is considered good if it performs well on held-out training

THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN NATURE AND THE HUMAN NATURE OF SCIENCE

Sign Language Studies, 2005
IN 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. Weissmann's discovery was good for science because, contrary to what many scientists had believed, acquired characteristics are not, of course, heritable ...

On the Nature of Data Science

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.

Evolution and the Nature of Natural Science

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1966
WHEN HEN I saw the title of this book, I had supposed that it would contain studies of rather than studies in the literature of the natural science. But there is no concern for literature as such. What it turns out to be is some sort of anthology. But it is very good.

Sociology as a Natural Science

American Journal of Sociology, 1932

The sporting nature of science

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2010
There 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.
