Excerpt from The True Statistical Basis of Science as Fact in the Social Order: A Study in Social Psychology
As we undertake a systematic and detailed inventory of the results of science in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and compare them with those of the whole period gone before, we find ourselves forcibly struck by the astonishing progress made by science within the short period, this mention of astonish ment being the burden of frequent comment upon the matter. Yet little do we suspect that this frequently recognized occur rence of astonishment when contemplating the matter has in it an important element, or is an important factor in the further development, of the truth, for which mind shows itself to be unconsciously groping at the time. For, the course taken by science within the last fifty years, it may be summarily stated, cannot lead us to the supposed goal, because its methods have most peculiarly disregarded and still continued to disregard an important epistemological factor in the development of truth. This factor mind, in its astonishment at the results of science, unconsciously contemplates in a silent undercurrent of thought, namely, What after all can the wonderful results as such have to do with ourselves as it seems that we could walk away from them and leave them all indifferently behind? The efiorts now making in the development and extension of science by these methods can thus at best appear to us only as a mere running to seed, an extensive development of detail in experience which lacks all enduring substance.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This philosophical text explores the origins of science and knowledge through the lens of epistemology, the study of how we know what we know. The author argues that our understanding of the world is not a fixed, objective reality, but rather a constantly evolving and socially constructed process. This perspective challenges the traditional view of scientific knowledge as an absolute truth, and instead suggests that it is a product of our collective experiences and assumptions. By examining the historical and cultural roots of scientific thought, the author aims to shed light on the limitations and biases inherent in our knowledge, encouraging us to critically evaluate the information we receive. This book is a valuable contribution to the fields of epistemology, the history of science, and the sociology of knowledge, and will appeal to readers interested in understanding the foundations of our understanding of the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
