Introduction; Part I: 1. The knowledge problem, or what can we really
'know'?; 2. Adding more building blocks of human reasoning to the knowledge
problem; 3. Holistic coherence in thinking, or describing a system of how
humans reason and think; Part II: 4. How scientific reasoning differs from
other reasoning; 5. Natural properties of a rule-governed world, or why
scientists study certain types of things and not others; 6. How human
observation of the natural world can differ from what the world really is;
7. Detection of patterns and associations, or how human perceptions and
reasoning complicate understanding of real-world information; 8. The
association of ideas and causes, or how science figures out what causes
what; Part III: 9. Remedies that science uses to compensate for how humans
tend to make errors; 10. The analysis of a phantom apparition, or has
science really been studied yet?; 11. The societal factor, or how social
dynamics affect science; 12. A holistic world of scientific entities, or
considering the forest and the trees together; 13. Putting it all together
to describe 'what science is and how it really works'.
