Body Paragraphs:

Scientific Explanation:

· Definition- Ex. What is photosynthesis?

· Paraphrase- restates the sense in similar or more formal words. ex what does the fire insurance plan mean?

· Rules- Ex will you explain chess to me?

· Analysis- what is logically entailed. ex Why is there no greatest prime number?

· Demonstration- showing how to do something. ex.How do you ski?

· Reasons- provides motives, beliefs, examples. ex. Why did Brutus stab Caesar?

· Universal- would require both refence to the metaphysical reasons in which both substances participate. ex. Why is snow and milk white

Theory v. observation

· They are independent because even though a scientist can observe a certain experiment he can create a theory with things that are not directly seen. This means that a theory can existed with out observation.

· The use of image is misleading, and we make up rules and patterns ourselves to fit into our ideas. These do not exist in nature and limits our true understandings of things.

History

· The natural scientist may be indifferent to his/her subject matter. However a person is hardly detached from the investigation of things like birth control, socialism, sexual freedom, crime, drugs, pornography, and so on. Social sciences are overrun with values. Auguste Comte had the hope of "science of society" which would distinguish the difference between of whether or not something should be done from how to do something.

· History is constantly being rewritten not only because of new facts being found but because of the view that 'history is always written wrong'. With new facts we are presented with new interpretations. Even if new facts aren't presented in a situation different interpretations and reconstruction will appear because of the different views we have on life in comparison to those of the past. "Stories about the dead are inspired by the curiosity of the living."

· In History just like physics because there will always be out lying variables that will never be known. It is impossible to know everything about both. Also both have to go "beyond the evidence" to explain the results that have occurred to connect them their ultimate results. Also both have to select certain facts and present them in the best way that they felt they are able to describe them.

Conclusion:

Awesomeness
