A Theory of Scientific Practice
arXiv:1208.5206
Abstract
This paper avers that science is not demarcated from other disciplines by a specific unique methodology, but by its specific scientific rationality and rational grounds. In this context, the notion and structure of scientific reason are explicated. Four rational grounds of science are identified: the epistemological. Ontological, ethical and sociological grounds. They are discussed in detail within the context of classical physics, relativistic physics and quantum physics.
