Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Science of Knowledge: A Critical Exposition It would be too much to say that no system of philosophy can be understood till it is believed. It is at least true, however, that no system can be under stood until belief in it is seen to be' possible. I shall, therefore, identify myself as closely as possible with the work before us, making the freest use of the material furnished by Fichte, and seeking to make its reasoning seem conclusive where that is possible; and plausible Where plausibility is all that can be hoped. Criticism will not be introduced in the course of the discussion, except in cases where a process Of thought may be better understood by its aid. A brief criticism will, however, be added at the close of the work, which may perhaps suf ficiently indicate the limitations of Fichte's phil osophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 66: November, 1904, to April, 1905 Thanks to the wisdom, enthusiasm and devotion of these learned officers of the congress, and the intelligent enterprise of the manage ment of the exposition under its president, the Hon. David R. Francis, it was possible to carry out a program without a parallel in history. Other meetings of men, including some more eminent than any of those who came to St. Louis, may have accomplished more for science and civilization, but never before has there been a gathering of so large and representative a body of the world's leading scholars and thinkers. It will be sufficient to remind our readers in passing that the unique purpose of this congress was to see science whole. It was a deliberate attempt to exhibit the totality of intellectual achievement, to formulate the interrelations of the several branches of knowledge, and in some measure to realize the potential unity of the several sciences and their applications by harmonizing the confused mass of knowledge scattered through a bewildering multiplicity of specialties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Congress of Arts and Science, Vol. 6: Universal Exposition, St. Louis, 1904; Medicine; Technology It falls to my lot to-day, to discuss very briefly, in accordance with the Programme of this Congress, some of the common features of utilitarian science, with a word as to present and future lines of investigation or instruction in some of those branches of the applications of knowledge which have been assigned to the present division. Applied science cannot be separated from pure science; for pure science may develop at any quarter the greatest and most unexpected economic values; while on the other hand, the application of knowledge must await the acquisition of knowledge before any high achievement can be reached. For these reasons, the classification adopted in the present Congress, or any other classification of sciences into utilitarian science and other forms of science, must be incomplete and even misleading. Whatever is true is likely some time to prove useful, and all error is likely to prove some time disastrous. From the point of view of the development of the human mind, all truth is alike useful, and all error is alike mischievous. In point of development, pure science must precede utilitarian science. Historically, this seems to be not true; for the beginnings of science in general, as alchemy, astrology, and therapeutics, seem to have their origin in the desire for the practical results of knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Science and Materialism Although the desire for knowledge of this kind is so imperative in man's nature, all attempts to satisfy it have failed. It is clear at the outset, therefore, that the subject itself is outside the range of human intellect. If a solution ever could have been found, it would assuredly have been found before now. Philosophy cannot furnish answers to these ultimate questions; it can, however, do something towards allaying unsatisfied curiosity, partly by making clear what branches of inquiry are necessarily outside the scope of human intellect, partly by setting forth the things that we can know in an organized and systematic form. Philosophy can do no more than this: mark off the sphere of possible knowledge from the sphere where knowledge is impossible; then collect together the main principles that emerge in the knowledge at present possessed by mankind; and thereby we shall, at all events, perceive to the highest extent possible where it is that we stand in Nature, and what is the general aspect of the Universe.

Download or read book Philosophy Rhetoric and the End of Knowledge written by Steve Fuller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-12-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second edition of Steve Fuller's original work Philosophy, Rhetoric, and the End of Knowledge: A New Beginning for Science and Technology Studies, James Collier joins Fuller in developing an updated and accessible version of Fuller's classic volume. The new edition shifts focus slightly to balance the discussions of theory and practice, and the writing style is oriented to advanced students. It addresses the contemporary problems of knowledge to develop the basis for a more publicly accountable science. The resources of social epistemology are deployed to provide a positive agenda of research, teaching, and political action designed to bring out the best in both the ancient discipline of rhetoric and the emerging field of science and technology studies (STS). The authors reclaim and integrate STS and rhetoric to explore the problems of knowledge as a social process--problems of increasing public interest that extend beyond traditional disciplinary resources. In so doing, the differences among disciplines must be questioned (the exercise of STS) and the disciplinary boundaries must be renegotiated (the exercise of rhetoric). This book innovatively integrates a sophisticated theoretical approach to the social processes of creating knowledge with a developing pedagogical apparatus. The thought questions at the end of each chapter, the postscript, and the appendix allow the reader to actively engage the text in order to discuss and apply its theoretical insights. Creating new standards for interdisciplinary scholarship and communication, the authors bring numerous disciplines into conversation in formulating a new kind of rhetoric geared toward greater democratic participation in the knowledge-making process. This volume is intended for students and scholars in rhetoric of science, science studies, philosophy, and communication, and will be of interest in English, sociology, and knowledge management arenas as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the Scientific Investigator: Opening Address at the International Congress of Arts and Science at the Universal Exposition, St. Louis, September September 19, 1904 As we look at the assemblage gathered in this hall, comprising so many names of widest renown in every branch of learning - we might almost say in every field of human endeavor - the first inquiry suggested must be after the object of our meeting. The answer is that our purpose corresponds to the eminence of the assemblage. We aim at nothing less than a survey of the realm of knowledge, as comprehensive as is permitted by the limitations of time and space. The organizers of our congress have honored me with the charge of presenting such preliminary view of its field as may make clear the spirit of our undertaking. Certain tendencies characteristic of the science of our day clearly suggest the direction of our thoughts most appropriate to the occasion. Among the strongest of these is one toward laying greater stress on questions of the beginning of things, and regarding a knowledge of the laws of development of any object of study as necessary to the understanding of its present form. It may be conceded that the principle here involved is as applicable in the broad field before us as in a special research into the properties of the minutest organism. It therefore seems meet that we should begin by inquiring what agency has brought about the remarkable development of science 4442203fsm nich the vigorld of today bears witness. This view is recognized in the plan of our proceed ings by providing for each great department of knowledge a review of its progress during the century that has elapsed since the great event com memorated by the scenes outside this hall. But such reviews do not make up that general survey of science at large which is necessary to the development of our theme, and which must include the action of causes that had their origin long before our time. The movement which culminated in making the nineteenth century ever memorable in history is the outcome of a long series of causes, acting through many centuries, which are worthy of especial attention on such an occasion as this. In setting them forth we should avoid laying stress on those visible manifestations which, striking the eye of every beholder, are in no danger of being overlooked, and search rather for those agencies whose activities underlie the whole visible scene, but which are liable to be blotted out of sight by the very brilliancy of the results to which they have given rise. It is easy to draw attention to the wonderful qualities of the oak; but, from that very fact, it may be needful to point out that the real wonder lies concealed in the acorn from which it grew.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Universe No Desert, the Earth No Monopoly: Preceded by a Scientific Exposition of the Unity of Plan in Creation One of the main arguments used in the subsequent portion of our treatise is based upon this immutable principle. We cordially assent to the sentiment, expressed by an intelligent writer, that We see certain conditions exist throughout the solar system, and although we cannot mathematically demonstrate that the same conditions prevail throughout universal space, the infer ence that they do universally exist is legitimate and rational, more especially as every fixed star appears to be the centre of a system. This conclusion, with respect to unseen space, is agreeable to our knowledge of that which is seen; but, if we come to the contrary conclusion, then is our conclusion opposed to our knowledge, which is irrational. Even apos tolic authority might be cited: the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being under stood by the things that are made.

Book excerpt: "Lab Dynamics is a book about the challenges to doing science and dealing with the individuals involved, including oneself. The authors, a scientist and a psychotherapist, draw on principles of group and behavioral psychology but speak to scientists in their own language about their own experiences. They offer in-depth, practical advice, real-life examples, and exercises tailored to scientific and technical workplaces on topics as diverse as conflict resolution, negotiation, dealing with supervision, working with competing peers, and making the transition from academia to industry." "This is a uniquely valuable contribution to the scientific literature, on a subject of direct importance to lab heads, postdocs, and students. It is also required reading for senior staff concerned about improving efficiency and effectiveness in academic and industrial research."--BOOK JACKET

This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of Science The history of science has something to offer to the humblest intelligence. It is a means of impart ing a knowledge of scientific facts and principles to unschooled minds. At the same time it affords a simple method of school instruction. Those who understand a business or an institution best, as a contemporary writer on finance remarks, are those who have made it or grown up with it, and the next best thing is to know how it has grown up, and then watch or take part in its actual working. Generally speaking, we know best what we know in its origins. The history of science is an aid in scientific research. It places the student in the current of scientific thought, and gives him a clue to the purpose and necessity of the theories he is required to master. It presents science as the constant pursuit of truth rather than the formulation of truth long since re vealed; it shows science as progressive rather than fixed, dynamic rather than static, a growth to which each may contribute. It does not paralyze the self activity of youth by the record of an infallible past. It is only by teaching the sciences in their bistori cal development that the schools can be true to the two principles of modern education, that the sciences should occupy the foremost place in the curriculum and that the individual mind in its evolution should rehearse the history of civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Science For myself I found that I was fitted for noth ing so well as for the study of Truth; as having a mind nimble and versatile enough to catch the resemblance of things (which is the chief point), and at the same time steady enough to fix and distinguish their subtler differences; as being gifted by nature with desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to reconsider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and as being a man that neither affects what is new nor admires what is old, and that hates every kind of imposture. SO I thought my nature had a kind of familiarity and relation ship with Truth. - francis bacon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Knowledge, Vol. 38: May, 1915 IN the following pages an attempt will be made to describe simply some of the more interesting points regarding the life-history of the larger British Fungi. As is the case with most living things, a large proportion of the energy of nearly all the members of the mushroom tribe is given up to the perpetuation of their kind. Therefore, in the description of the life-history of mushrooms and toadstools, the structure of the organs bearing the spores and the dispersal of the spores themselves take a very large share; indeed, the only part of the fungus plant known to most people, namely, the mushroom or toadstool, has solely to do with the formation and dispersal of the spores. In a previous article on this subject (see knowledge, Volume XXXVII, pages 98, 124, 168) the question of spore-formation and dispersal has already been gone into, and it will not be further mentioned in the present paper.
