A purely chronological history of science and a purely formal philosophy of science thus have the same deficiency: each of them neglects to place the scientific ideas which are in question into their intellectual environment, so as to show what, in that particular context, gave these ideas and investigations their merit.
Likewise for the philosopher of science: some novel theories deserve to survive at the expense of their rivals and predecessors; and the philosopher must analyse the standards by which such scientific variants are judged and found worthy or wanting.
For progress can be made in science only if men apply their intellects critically to the problems which arise in their own times, in the light of the evidence and the ideas which are then open to consideration.

  SCIENCE - LoveToKnow Article on SCIENCE
For our purpose, science may be defined as ordered knowledge of natural phenomena and of the relations between them; thus it is a short term for natural science, and as such is used here technically in conformity with a general modern convention.
The beginnings of physical science are to be sought in the slow and unconscious, observation by primitive races of men of natural occurrences, such as the apparent movements of the heavenly bodies, and in the gradually The acquired mastery over the rude implements by the of scieirce.
Besides the broad distinction into physical and biological science, minute subdivisions arose, and, at a certain stage of development, much attention was, given to methods of classification, and much emphasis laid on the results, which were thought to have a significance beyond that of the mere convenience of mankind.

 DARWIN: SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY? Chapter 10
But biological science, chemistry, physics, and other branches of modern scientific inquiry are also joined together by a common purpose, rationale, and experimental approach.
But it is difficult to focus on the issue of purpose as it relates to a concept as broad and diverse as the study of evolutionary biology.
As is so frequently true in the history of science, its final acceptance required concessions from both the germ line and somatic mutation factions, who lined up on either side of the debate (Silverstein, 1985).

In November 1998 (Science 282:1649), Anne Keatley Solomon recommended that a new bureau devoted to S&T be established within the State Department.
At the same time (Science 282:1650), J. Thomas Ratchford suggested that the main federal R&D agencies be given a legislative mandate and resources to handle the job for the State Department.

 Science and Philosophy
Science in its infancy found many powerful opponents, who, not understanding the nature of the newly-born babe, strove to strangle it.
Therefore Science met with very severe treatment; its followers were persecuted with relentless vehemence, and “blasphemous fables” and “dangerous deceits” were the only epithets which could characterise its doctrines.
The controversy between Religion and Science still rages, in spite of the declaration of Professor Huxley that in his opinion the conflict between the two is entirely factitious.

 SparkNotes: Principles of Philosophy: Context
It was during this day of meditation that Descartes conceived of his lifelong project: to develop a unified science that would tackle all possible subjects of human knowledge with a single method, a method based on rules of reasoning much like those utilized in mathematics.
The early seventeenth century was a time of intense struggle between science and religion, and Descartes, as one of the leading proponents of the new mechanistic science was heavily influenced by this struggle.
Descartes was not the first scientist to develop a mechanistic, mathematical science, though he was influential in its development and perhaps was the most ambitious scientist in terms of his scope.

Though for some reason, an open mind is as foreign to some scientists as their knowledge of astrology, which they periodically feel obliged to attack.
Some say it was the rise of orthodox science, which is ironic considering many of those who pioneered the scientific revolution were astrologers themselves.
However, there can be no denying the seeds of the 17th century's eventual disaffection with astrology had already been sown in the earlier part of that century.

The results show with high precision that space is flat (rather than curved) and that most of the energy in the Universe today is "dark energy", which is gravitationally self-repulsive and accelerates the expansion of the universe.
The mathematical constructs involved are appealing because of their symmetries, and as in the development of many appealing ideas, the use of the term "fractal" has increased to the point where experimental observations in all the sciences are being analyzed and interpreted as examples of systems with apparently fractal properties.
