This book provides an introspection into overlooked aspects of physical science: overrated standards, an Aristotelian perspective, and underappreciated paradigms. Combining two works, it explores physical science - describing the world scientifically and consistently - through two themes. First, it shows that while an experimental hypothesis approach succeeds due to the availability of the physical world, other strategies exist. The author proposes one approach focused on physical science's extreme prioritization of certain goals, which may limit its exploration. Some overlooked ideas are thor...
This book provides an introspection into overlooked aspects of physical science: overrated standards, an Aristotelian perspective, and underappreciated paradigms. Combining two works, it explores physical science - describing the world scientifically and consistently - through two themes. First, it shows that while an experimental hypothesis approach succeeds due to the availability of the physical world, other strategies exist. The author proposes one approach focused on physical science's extreme prioritization of certain goals, which may limit its exploration. Some overlooked ideas are thoroughly detailed. Second, it re-examines Aristotelian physics, contrasting it with modern science and analyzing its wholesale replacement. Beyond just comparing, it identifies Aristotelian virtues, citing recent supporting works. It illustrates an unfinished pre-modern science paradigm. Overall, readers gain a complete understanding of the hard science paradigm, including its hidden assumptions, exaggerations, evolutionary myths, and options for innovation. The study sheds new light on hard science's modern pre-eminence, grounding analysis in principles, not achievements. This clarifies physical studies' roots, each paradigm's exaggerations and oversimplifications, allowing new approaches.
