Toward a Descriptive Approach to Science: A Critique of Contemporary Philosophy of Science - Author's Introduction Why this book?! Most people think that science is rational and objective and comes close to the truth. It is rational because it is based on observation and experimentation and not on myths and folklore, based on sense rather than imagination and emotion. Objective because it has nothing to do with the prejudices and personal passions and previous beliefs of the researcher in the experiment, observation is the decisive thing in science. It comes closer to the truth because the most true theories in the interpretation of reality replace the least true theories, and then science always advances towards the truest portrayal of reality. This book, which is in the hands of the reader, is not only aimed at destroying the philosophy that justifies this conception. Some have already grasped the naivety of this conception after any cursory reading of articles or books about the philosophy of science, but also at criticizing any philosophy about science in principle, any philosophy that attempts to distinguish science from any other (rational, objective, or objective) rationality, but no other human activity. We presented the descriptive approach to address the issue of "the existence of God" in the book "Human Consensus: Determinants and Criteria of Protest", and by analyzing what human societies have in common through the ages, and demonstrating that society is the justification for human knowledge, we concluded that what societies share has a certain cognitive value, because social rationality is at its origin. This value becomes the highest possible when human knowledge is related to a psychological and social practice such as religion, and thus we say that religion is the sister of man. For our purposes we will not be exposed to secondary problems of science, i.e. those of scientific industry itself, such as must laws be causal in physics? Any scientific philosophy is based on epistemology, so we have to present a quick exposition of the most important epistemological theories from Greek philosophers to date, and the significance goes back to how much this epistemology relates to the philosophy of contemporary science. In the second chapter we will address the question of the emergence of empirical science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from nothingness, a historical question that is of great importance to the philosophies of science and to our descriptive approach. - Reza Zeidan. — Source: Brahin Center website - Published on 2019-01-16 (archived at the Internet Archive) https://braheen.com/publications/intros/نحو-منهج-وصفي-للعلم-نقد-فلسفات-العلم-المعاصرة-مقدمة-المؤلف
