Remarked Answers
What do you think of the common remark by theists that "science only explains how things happen, not why"?
Q. I believe this is mistaken. Science does explain why, but only in causal terms ie by finding the underlying regularities in the world, its laws and constants. It does not try to address why in purposive terms, as indeed not everything necessarily has a purpose
Asked by jay58 - Thu Mar 5 09:36:31 2009 - Philosophy - 16 Answers - Comments
A. The point is that science needs an underlying philosophy (or theology) to justify it. Thus the claim is made that this underlying explanation is what provides the WHY.

What does it mean when a comic book is "signed and remarked"?
Q. I have recently began collecting comic books again after about 15-18 year absence. I'm assuming this means more than just being "autographed".

A. "The Signed and Remarked" label is used when an artist signs and includes a drawing. For example, my Amazing Spider-man issue is signed by artist and has a small drawing of Spider-man on cover.

How do I link "team teaching" with social science issues?
Q. I am currently writing my thesis. I have a huge problem! The focus of my thesis is on team teaching in a secondary school (subject Social Studies). Unfortunately, it is not Social Science enough but more towards the educational aspects. I was told that I should see how team teaching can create an impact to the society? the school administration and up to the national level? I am still stuck! I cant link to any of these aspects. Anyone can help? How do I link "team teaching" to any social sciences issues. I have a rather superficial focus, that is "team teaching" and its impact only at the school level. The impact "team teaching" has on students, colleagues and constraints. Any advice?

A. Team Teaching can benefit students by exposing them to different disciplines and teaching strategies. You can bring in math teachers to link Egypt to the real world. Bringing collegues together helps to build a stronger teaching community and share techniques and ideas. It builds the school environment. Bringing social science out of dusty books and making it relevant is a significant benefit. Development of long term projects or field trips could also broaden the learning experience. The only draw back is creativity sometimes is hindered by administrators if they can't see the fiscal benefit. Leaving the school site requires funding, and if its a fine art type of trip than it may be hard to pull off. Money is always a constraint. But… [cont.]

Why is Economics considered a "social science"?
Q. Honestly, the social sciences can be stretched to encompass any field of study at all so I'm not surprised. Still, why is it NOT considered a hard science? My own thought is that so long as it remains a "social" science, the social engineers get to claim it for themselves. The result is that we get political solutions for economic problems.
Asked by catharsis - Mon Aug 30 00:13:14 2010 - Economics - 6 Answers - Comments
A. Because economics is 100% a study of human behavior. And because people are each different and capricious, we know that no law or prediction of Economics can ever be 100% reliable. A planet in orbit that notices you are observing it or theorizing about it won't turn around and do something random just to screw with your head. Hard sciences are easy like that.

How to protect Science from religious pseudo-"sciences&quo t;?
Q. I don't believe that Science can explain "everything", but personally, I only trust grounded scientists. How to neutralize pseudo-scientists from interfering in Science? Thx Happy-Atheist :-) It seems indeed that Real Science protects itself, whatever it seems :-) Thx everyone for your reassuring replies :-) It appears to me that scientists believe in pragmatic observations, then build up theoretical models based on what they observe. I see 2 kinds of scientists: - those who dare to modify their theoretical models when unexpected observations contradict them; - those who deny unexpected contradicting observations because they are afraid their theoretical models become obsolete.
