	Science, Technology and Innovation Program: Olav Sorenson and Lee Fleming viewpoint
		The idea that the development of science has driven the rapid economic growth of the Western world enjoys wide acceptance today.
		This highly favorable view of the scientific method conflicts, however, with a substantial literature on the practice of science that points to the highly political and often subjective nature of the debates surrounding scientific advances.
		For example, if much of the benefit of science accrues from its norms of openness, then public funding of research should include stipulations of quick and public disclosure of results to take advantage of the potential societal benefits.

	David Ketterer- The SF Element in the Work of Poe: A Chronological Survey
		It is the "happier star" mentioned in "Sonnet--To Science," which functions as a proem to "Al Aaraaf"; here the world of myth, displaced on earth by science, has taken refuge.
		In this fourth doppelganger grotesque (see #33), the result of the narrator's mutilating his fl cat (a projection of those aspects of his personality he wishes to exorcise) is a series of catastrophes culminating in the death of his wife-i.e., his potential for arabesque awareness.
		Claims that Poe was "the first writer of science centered fiction to base his stories firmly on a rational kind of explanation, avoiding the supernatural" (p4l7); counts seven of the tales as SF: ## 13, 58, 59, 62, 74, 81, 83.

	Online Etymology Dictionary
		To blind (someone) with science "confuse by the use of big words or complex explanations" is attested from 1937, originally noted as a phrase from Australia and New Zealand.
		Phrase cool as a cucumber (c.1732) embodies ancient folk knowledge confirmed by science in 1970: inside of a field cucumber on a warm day is 20 degrees cooler than the air temperature.
		It is thus a cousin to science and conscience.

	Poe
		The "scientific reports" were supposedly taken from the Edinburgh Journal of Science (once a real journal, but one which had actually suspended publication several years earlier), and they were strikingly technical and official in tone--eminently believable, in other words.
		when we hear so much of the benefits which science is to derive from the art of aerostation" and a propos of a near future when "a journey to the moon may not be considered a matter of mere moonshine" (Thomas 160).
		By the summer of 1844, Poe was doing correspondence work for a small Pennsylvania newspaper, the Columbia Spy, and one of his letters to the paper tried to renew interest in what had been a flat failure.

	2002 Syllabus
		Science and religion, in other words, exist within cultural frameworks and are thus defined and shaped by prevailing cultural beliefs and norms.
		I have also attempted to demonstrate that science and religion, though possessed of their own respective intricacies and internal logics, are nonetheless shaped by cultural beliefs and norms.
		Since the aim of science—be it the hard sciences or the social sciences—is also to gain a better understanding of our lives, cultures, and societies, then perhaps one day the two domains of social life will merge beautifully to help expand a body of knowledge that forms the essence of the human condition.

	ACJ Special: The Affirmative Masquerade (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Out of the poststructuralist turn in the humanities and social sciences emerged a "critical rhetoric," in which a Foucaultian emphasis on the production and disciplining of subjects amends and/or replaces the concern of the ideological turn with unmasking power in discourse.
		Raymie McKerrow (1989, 1991a, 1991b) tries to combine the "critique of domination," or of repressive power enacted by interested agents of discourse; and the "critique of freedom," by which he means the Foucaultian project of describing how discourse, as its own agent of power, is productive of subjects and social relations.
		At the core of the issue is a debate across the humanities and social sciences with regard to whether we live in a "new economy," an allegedly postmodern, information-driven historical moment in which, it is argued, organized mass movements are no longer effective in making material demands of system and structure (Melucci, 1996).

	Critique of Hegel's Philosophy in General, Marx, 1844 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Therefore, that which constitutes the essence of philosophy – the alienation of man who knows himself, or alienated science thinking itself - Hegel grasps as its essence; and in contradistinction to previous philosophy he is therefore able to combine its separate aspects, and to present his philosophy as the philosophy.
		What the other philosophers did – that they grasped separate phases of nature and of human life as phases of self-consciousness, namely, of human life as phases of self-consciousness – is known to Hegel as the doings of philosophy.
		Instead, the actual estrangement – that which appears real – is according to its inner-most, hidden nature (which is only brought to light by philosophy) nothing but the manifestation of the estrangement of the real human essence, of self-consciousness.

	Educational Psychology and Biblical Faith (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		There are complexities in both biblical faith and secular science which converge, like two raging rivers, swollen from rapidly melting snow, to create dangerous eddies and undertows, causing misunderstanding on both sides.
		One definition of science focuses on a methodology of gaining knowledge about the world in which we live.
		Such statements reflect the prediction of Karl Marx (1844), "Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science" [6].

		Science’s materialist-reductionist-determinist philosophy led to the Human Genome Project, the multibillion-dollar program to map all of the genes. Once this is accomplished, it is assumed that we can use that knowledge to repair or replace "defective" genes and in the process, realize Science’s mission of "controlling" the expression of an organism.
		Since 1953, biologists have assumed that DNA "controls" life. In multicellular animals, the organ that "controls" life is known as the brain. Since genes are presumed to control cellular life, and genes are contained in the cell’s nucleus, the nucleus would be expected to be the equivalent of the cell’s "brain."
