Philosophy of Science
The naïve view of science - science is derived from the facts
Naïve Inductivism:
-experimentation & observation precede theory
-objective observation and data gathering are possible
-scientific theories are strictly built upon experimental data
-science as a discipline grows through the simple accumulation of data
-science is a thoroughly rational enterprise
[The 2006 me scrawled "This is absolute bullshit" in the margins]
