Science History of the Romantic Period
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the qualities of the period of 1770-1830 in scientific advancement. The age of enlightenment is associated with order and reason; progress and change belongs to the 19th century. A.L. DeJussieu (1748 – 1836), C.F. Mirbel (1776 – 1854) and K Sprengel (1766 – 1833) all quietly contributed to the advancement of science in general - and botany in particular – during this time that would prove to provide preparation for rapidly-occurring advances in the future. Growing knowledge of what was ultimately led to speculation of what could be. By the end of the Romantic Period in 1830, the focus shifted toward work that could effect change, rather than merely explain why things existed as they did. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Science In The Latter Medieval Period
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The medieval period was rife with scientific discovery; from psychological to philosophical and medicinal to mathematical, the middle ages proved to cultivate and ultimately perpetuate ideas in copious numbers. The basis for medieval science, however, maintained its fundamental foundation within earlier teachings; with this knowledge, scientific minds of the middle ages were infinitely more able to apply their particular understanding. Indeed, scientific discovery is what the fundamental essence of life is based upon; without Aristotle's initial quest into the notion of logic, contemporary society would know nothing of the extraordinary influence science has had upon human existence ever since. The elements of deductive mathematics were another significant component of scientific evolution, while geography, astronomy and natural sciences soon took shape as separate and individual fields. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Scientific Realism and the “No Miracles” Argument
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses what scientific realism is and how it applies to what Hilary Putnam defined in 1975 as the “no miracles” argument. The argument, also referred to as the “ultimate argument” is thought of as the primary philosophical argument in favor of scientific realism. Traditional scientific realism presents very singular opinions regarding scientific hypotheses, theoretical entities, and scientific understanding: theories in, at least, mature sciences are typically and for the most part true. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
