D. What is Science?
§2. Publicly verifiable knowledge.
§Knowledge
created in science is social knowledge in three ways:
§Open to scrutiny. Scrutinizing
one’s own or others’ knowledge claims is a critical component
§Replication: Try the same
conditions as someone else and see if you see the same things,
§Peer Review: All interpretations are open to
review.
§We
will consider the importance of publicly verifiable knowledge in science
in Chapter 3 in Stanovich
when we consider “Operationalism”.
