Preprint 1998: The Scope of Hermeneutics in Natural Science THE SCOPE OF HERMENEUTICS IN NATURAL SCIENCE PATRICK A. HEELAN Georgetown University Washington, DC 20057 Abstract: Hermeneutics or interpretation is concerned with the generation, transmission, and acceptance of meaning within the lifeworld and was the original method of the human sciences stemming from F. Schleiermacher and W. Dilthey. Hermeneutic philosophy refers mostly to M. Heidegger’s. This paper addresses natural science from the perspective of Heidegger’s analysis of meaning and interpretation. Its purpose is to incorporate into the philosophy of science those aspects of historicality, culture, and tradition that are absent from the traditional analysis of theory and explanation, to re-orient the current discussion about scientific realism around the hermeneutics of meaning and truth in science, and to establish some relationship between the current philosophy of natural science and hermeneutical philosophy.

  • Natural Science AA Degree
    CURRICULUM GUIDE 2018-2019 NATURAL SCIENCE Associate in Arts in Natural Science The Associate in Arts in Natural Science has three areas of emphasis: Biological Science; Physical Science; and Mathematics and Technology. Students may choose one of these emphases to earn a degree in Natural Science. These emphases will provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in a variety of science or technological careers. Graduates with an Associate in Arts in Natural Science will develop a strong foundation in the life sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics. Furthermore, the theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills acquired by students in these programs will also enhance their success with obtaining entry-level jobs that require two years of college-level science and math. It is imperative that students entering Ohlone’s Associate in Arts in Natural Science meet with a counselor at the start of their academic work. Counselors will assist students in preparing a comprehensive Student Education Plan that will prepare them to pursue their academic goals. Requirements for Associate in Arts Degree: a) Complete Major Field courses with a grade of C or better. b) Complete a minimum of twenty transferable units selected from one of the areas of emphasis, including a minimum of twelve units in the same department and an additional eight units from any of the courses within the emphasis. c) Complete Ohlone College General Education (Plan A), CSU GE (Plan B), or IGETC (Plan C) requirements. These requirements are specified in the Ohlone College catalog. Students who do not intend to transfer may complete Ohlone College General Education; students who intend to transfer may complete either CSU GE or IGETC.

  • The Paradox of Positivism
    Dylan Riley The Paradox of Positivism The essays in The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences contribute to a historical and comparative sociology of social science by systematically com- paring the rises, falls, and absences of ‘‘methodological positivism’’ across the human sciences. Although all of the essays are of extremely high quality, three contributions develop the argument most fully: George Steinmetz’s introduction and William H. Sewell Jr.’s and Steinmetz’s contributions to the volume. My remarks focus on these three pieces, drawing on the other contributions to illustrate aspects of the argument or to suggest tensions that need exploration. What Is Positivism? What are the authors trying to explain? The term positivism has at least three meanings. It can be a commitment to social evolution in the sense of Auguste Comte and Emile Durkheim. It can refer to an articulated philosophical tra- dition: logical positivism. Or it can refer to a set of scientific research prac- tices: methodological positivism. It is the last meaning that is most relevant for Steinmetz (2005c: 109). Methodological positivism refers to a concept of knowledge, a concept of social reality, and a concept of science. First, it is an epistemology that identifies scientific knowledge with covering laws—that is, statements of the type ‘‘if A occurs, then B will follow.’’ Second, it is an ontology that equates existence with objects that are observable. Third, it is associated with a self- understanding of scientific activity in which social science is independent

It is suggested that From~n'smajor contribution is not accessible to social scientists in its directly apparent form. As a serious contri- bution to social science the immediately apparent meanings, of Fromm's ideas which are rendered at first reading of his writings, are quite 'deceptive. ' This deceptive quality in Fromm's opus has tended to re- sult in a number of critical articles and books on Fromm which stress his contributions as being that of an ethical philosopher rather than as a social scientist. This type of judgement has serious implications for the present situation whereby Fronun's work is generally regarded to be on the periphery of "institutional ized social science" conceptual- izations and consequently for advancement of the more recent development toward theoretical integration of the various disciplines which come under the rubric of the social sciences (i.e., sociology, social psy- chology, pol itical science and anthropology) .

  • In Praise of Natural Philosophy a Revolution for Thought and Life Nicholas Maxwell to Be Published in Philosophia 40(4), 2012
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery In Praise of Natural Philosophy A Revolution for Thought and Life Nicholas Maxwell To be published in Philosophia 40(4), 2012 Abstract Modern science began as natural philosophy. In the time of Newton, what we call science and philosophy today – the disparate endeavours – formed one mutually interacting, integrated endeavour of natural philosophy: to improve our knowledge and understanding of the universe, and to improve our understanding of ourselves as a part of it. Profound, indeed unprecedented discoveries were made. But then natural philosophy died. It split into science on the one hand, and philosophy on the other. This happened during the 18th and 19th centuries, and the split is now built into our intellectual landscape. But the two fragments, science and philosophy, are defective shadows of the glorious unified endeavour of natural philosophy. Rigour, sheer intellectual good sense and decisive argument demand that we put the two together again, and rediscover the immense merits of the integrated enterprise of natural philosophy. This requires an intellectual revolution, with dramatic implications for how we understand our world, how we understand and do science, and how we understand and do philosophy. There are dramatic implications, too, for education, and for the entire academic endeavour, and its capacity to help us discover how to tackle more successfully our immense global problems. 1. Natural Philosophy and Its Death Modern science began as natural philosophy – or “experimental philosophy” as it was sometimes called. In the time of Isaac Newton, in the 17th century, science was not only called “natural philosophy”.
