Study Notes
- Good theories don't have to be perfect, as they all possess positive and negative aspects.
- The variety of theories is important in science, especially in psychological counseling.
Theory Definition
- It is still being asked, what is the definition of a theory and its relationship to the reality that it describes?
- Despite the advancement of theoretical and applied sciences, it still refers to the connection of human consciousness with the subject of its knowledge.
- Theory also tries to explore everything that expresses any cognitive or artistic work.
- Philosophy and science tell the unique story of consciousness trying to understand the connection between man and nature.
- The story of science goes back to the history of ancient civilizations, the Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, and Arab civilizations.
- Science did not take its systematic form until the beginning of the European Renaissance.
- Over the past few centuries, this approach has evolved considerably
Clear theory definition
- Scientists disagree on finding a clear definition for the theory.
- Bacon played a role in distinguishing the scientific method.
- Bacon called for a clear philosophy should not be based on fixed, and past ideas.
- Logic should be based on observing and testing tangible things.
- Bacon introduced his inductive scientific method to avoid the inability to generalize from particular data.
- A hypothesis can be built on simple data to form a model that can generate new data.
- the researcher can systematically discover the laws of nature to form a complete theory.
- Descartes defined the goal of experiment and observation as discovering the causal laws that link things and phenomena.
- Newton benefited from Descartes' idea by finding a relationship between the observations of Copernicus, Kepler, and others, and put forward his theory.
