The Nature of Science

            
             Science, for me is relatively a complex, but at the same time, a very appealing subject. Without attempting to make a hasty generilazation, it is rational to say that most people find science a dreadful subject. Nonetheless, I feel this complex subject is fundamental for human beings to engage in its basic knowledge. In addition, science is an essential universal characteristic, which we humans, as well as other species, deliberately or instinctively practice as a method of survival. However, comprehending the nature of science can be to some extent vague. The content in "The Trouble with Science," gives the reader a more transparent understanding about the nature of science. With this in mind, it is imperative to say that the nature of science is to generate highly originated versions very fundamental to life; moreover, that is to say , the business of gaining knowledge of regularities in the world. In addition, "Being able to predict what is going to happen in order to be able to act in an appropriate manner at the right moment is fundamental to survival," (Dunbar, 58).
             First, in order to understand the nature of science, I find it valuable to discuss briefly the history of science. There seems to be a realtionship between scientists and philosophers. Scientists have usually been more concerned with the strength of the meticulous conjectures they derive about the world. Philosoper, on the other hand, have been mor concerned with the characteristics of the scientific process as a whole. Furthermore, Francis Bacon, anEnglish philosopher, was a philosoher who wrote a series of books concerning empiracal science. His argument was that he found that empirical observation and formal experiments was crucial and the only effective way of testing hypotheses.
             It is fair to suggest that the better hypotheses we formulate the better we can act appropriately to situations. As explained in my introduction, this is one of the natures of science.
