University Sociology Report: Scientific Methods, Philosophical Aspects

This report delves into the relationship between scientific methods and philosophical aspects within the field of sociology. It examines the induction method of science, as proposed by Bacon, and its significance in understanding how knowledge is gained through scientific processes. The report explores the observations and experiments conducted in the rise of science and highlights the connections between scientists and philosophers like Immanuel Kant, discussing Kant's views on scientific issues. The report also touches upon the concepts of the 'scientific revolution' by Popper, and how these concepts are integral for the growth of scientific processes and gaining important knowledge. The report emphasizes the empirical significance of science and the impact of scientific innovations from the Medieval Age to the modern age. The report also references the importance of Bacon's method of induction and how it connects science and philosophy in normative ways.

The aim of this paper is to respond on the various objectives. These objectives are indeed
very helpful to understand various issues regarding the scientific methods and its connections
with various philosophical aspects. The concepts of induction method of science by Bacon are
one of the most crucial objectives to learn about (Jasanoff, 2015). The way of gaining knowledge
by the common human beings through science is one of the most crucial things in this context.
Several experiments and observations have been done regarding the rise of science.
These observations and experiments are useful to depict the relations between scientists and
philosophers like Immanuel Kant. The views of Kant on these scientific issues are very
important to notice. According to the views of the critics, there might be different views on
science and philosophy (Whitehead, 2014). Still, it must be highlighted that these differences are
very integral for growth of scientific processes. It has also been acclaimed that people have
gained important knowledge through the process of philosophy of science.
On the other hand, the concepts of science have been found out through the elements of
empirical significance properly. The new scientific innovations from the Medieval Age to the
modern age have been quite inspiring for all the people in society. Immanuel Kant has also
highlighted some important aspects in this scenario (Jasanoff, 2015). The method of Induction by
Bacon has highlighted several aspects in terms of the connections between since and philosophy
in normative ways. The concept of ‘scientific revolution’ by Popper has also gained significance
in the recent times.
