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 ...

The Nature of Science

2020
The description of the relationship between mathematics and physics is too brief to be based solely on content. Rather, it requires the meta-descriptions of both subjects, i.e. the discussion of what constitutes the individual sciences and how they come to their conclusions.

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.

Subjective science and natural science.

History of Psychology, 2001
D. B. Wiseman's (2000) claim that Kenneth Spence's human learning research program is an example of a subjective science derives from his misconception of the role of subjectivity in natural-science methodology. Natural science is suffused with subjective ideas, but the major consideration is not their subjectivity but whether they are designed to meet

Science & Education, 1993
A major controversy in contemporary philosophy of science concerns the possibility and desirability of its ‘naturalization.’ In this paper I review the philosophical controversy concerning naturalism, and investigate the role it might play in the science classroom.

Nature of Science

2018
Der Begriff Nature of Science (NOS) wurde ursprunglich im Kontext der Wissenschaftstheorie und -philosophie etabliert. Er wurde dann in der fachdidaktischen Diskussion um naturwissenschaftliche Bildung aufgegriffen und Ende der 1990er-Jahre zu einem zentralen Diskussionsgegenstand.

Nature and Science

2020
The threat of global warming leading to the destruction of the planet has focused attention on policies for sustainability (rather than growth). This demands a new approach to the natural sciences as well as to economics, and a rehabilitation of crafts over technology. This can be linked with policies for limiting carbon emissions and forest clearance.

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.
