		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.

	History of Science
		John Robison (1739-1805) was a pivotal figure in the rise of a new style of mathematical physics in Britain at the turn of the nineteenth century.
		His lectures, however, were often complained of as difficult and hard to be followed; and this did not, in my opinion, arise from the depth of the mathematical demonstrations, as was sometimes said, but rather from the rapidity of his discourse, which was generally beyond the rate at which accurate reasoning can be easily followed.
		His biographer remarks, that "he was the first contributor who was professedly a man of science; and from that time the Encyclopedia Britannica ceased to be a mere compilation." The observation must be received with limitations in both its branches.

		They are also known (pejoratively) as the soft sciences (in contrast to the hard sciences), although many social scientists also refer to their discipline as the harder sciences, given the complexity of their subject matter.
		Social sciences diverge from the humanities in that many in the social sciences emphasise the scientific method or other rigorous standards of evidence in the study of humanity, although many also use much more qualitative methods.
		With the rise of the idea of quantitative measurement in the physical sciences, for example Lord Rutherford's famous maxim that any knowledge that one cannot measure numerically "is a poor sort of knowledge", the stage was set for the conception of the humanities as being precursors to "social science" was set.

		Psychology studies the human mind, sociology examines human society, political science studies the governing of groups and economics concerns itself with the allocation of wealth in society.
		This unity of science as descriptive remains, for example, in the time of Thomas Hobbes who argued that deductive reasoning from axioms created a scientific framework, and hence his Leviathan was a scientific description of a political commonwealth.

	ANTEBELLUM AMERICAN SCIENCE:
		The gain was in the suggestion of a greater social impact for science when viewed in a causative relationship to material advancement, while it was loss that science as knowledge was overshadowed in public perceptions by the more obvious economic and life-changing consequences derivative from technology and invention.
		Zoology in particular (and the life sciences more generally) constituted the largest area of interest for antebellum scientists, though this was followed closely by geology, which underscores the perception that American science was oriented to a significant degree toward study of the American environment.
		Science and science-related employment accounted for 70% of the occupational total for scientists, and employment in multiple positions characterized two-thirds of the scientific population.

	History of Biology
		The Babylonians were quite knowledgeable in a number of areas of science: their knowledge of astronomy was very advanced by even 1500 BC or earlier.
		Because modern science distinguishes between subjective and objective and teaches us that objective is “good” and subjective is “bad,” this creates for us an increasingly wide gulf between our perceptions of phenomena and the concepts by which we explain them.
		Since then, science has “bent over backwards,” as it were, to insure objectivity and make sure it has nothing to do with religion, which many scientists reject as being too subjective.

	E.P. Brandon - California Unnatural: A Note on Abela's Note on Fine's Natural Ontological Attitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Unlike standard philosophical approaches to science, such as realism or instrumentalism, which offer an interpretation of how science fits into and is constrained by a wider picture, NOA takes science simply on its own terms.
		NOA trusts science, so an alternative attitude might be one that distrusts it, or positively wishes to be rid of it.
		When we broaden the options by allowing for seriously opposed attitudes to the achievements of science, or even to picking and choosing among its self-styled practitioners, it may be that the isms Fine rejects as powerless within the enterprise can be refurbished to answer these wider questions.

	WallBuilders \| Resources \| Thomas Paine Criticizes the Current Public School Science Curriculum
		In a speech he delivered in Paris on January 16, 1797, Thomas Paine harshly criticized what the French were then teaching in their science classes-especially the philosophy they were using.
		Interestingly, that same science philosophy of which Thomas Paine was so critical is identical to that used in our public schools today.
		It has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of Divine origin.

	GA003: Theory of Knowledge Free of Assumptions and Fichte's Science of Knowledge
		In his deduction of representation, he does not begin from any absolute activity of the I or of the not-I, but he starts from a state of determination which, at the same time, itself determines, because in his view nothing else is, or can be contained directly in consciousness.
		That is why his science of knowledge could never become what he intended it to be: a philosophical foundation for science in general in the form of a theory of knowledge.
		In his Introduction to the Science of Knowledge (1797), he says that there are two theoretical systems: dogmatism — in which the I is determined by the objects; and idealism, in which the objects are determined by the I. In his opinion both are possible world-views.

		American science existed, where it existed at all, either as a genteel pastime or as an adjunct to the urgent needs of the new nation—agriculture, navigation, exploration.
		At the Albany Academy he prospected in various areas of physical science and almost at once struck his vein of gold: electromagnetism.
		As director of the Smithsonian and as President of the fledgling National Academy of Sciences from 1867 to his death, Henry worked to ensure that America would support science—not only applied but also pure science, not only amateur but also rigorous and professional science.
