The International Library of Psychology, Philosophy and ScientificMethod was an influential monographic series series of monographs published published 1910 1965 under the general editorship of Charles Kay Ogden . This series published some of the landmark works on psychology and philosophy, particularly the thought of the Vienna Circle in English. It published some of the major psychologists and philosophers of the time, such as Alfred Adler , C. D. Broad , Rudolf Carnap , F. M. Cornford , Edmund Husserl , Carl Jung , Kurt Koffka , Ernst Kretschmer , Bronis aw Malinowski , Karl Mannheim , George Edward Moore , Jean Nicod , Jean Piaget , Frank P. Ramsey , Otto Rank , W. H. R. Rivers , Louis Leon Thurstone , Jakob von Uexk ll , Hans Vaihinger , Edvard Westermarck , William Morton Wheeler , Ludwig Wittgenstein , J. N. Findlay and others. Most of the 204 volumes in the series have been reprinted, some in revised editions. The following is the statement about the series as it appears on the title page of the book by R. Carnap The Logical Syntax of Language 1937 published in the series in 1959 The purpose of the The International Library is to give expression, in a convenient format at moderate price, to the remarkable developments which have recently occurred in Psychology and its allied sciences. The older philosophers were preoccupied by metaphysical interests which, for the most part, have ceased to attract the younger investigators, and their forbidding terminology too often acted as a deterrent for the general reader.

Multiple issues disputed June 2011 essay June 2011 refimprove October 2009 A scientific law is a statement that explains what something does in science. A scientific law must always apply under the same conditions, and implies a causal relationship between its elements. The law must be confirmed and broadly agreed upon through the process of inductive reasoning . As well, scientific fact factual and well confirmed statements like Mercury is liquid at standard temperature and pressure are considered to be too specific to qualify as scientific laws. A central problem in the philosophy of science , going back to David Hume , is that of distinguishing scientific laws from principles that arise merely accidentally because of the constant conjunction of one thing and another. ref Citation contribution Laws, natural or scientific editor last Honderich editor first Bike title Oxford Companion to Philosophy pages 474 476 publisher Oxford University Press place Oxford year 1995 isbn 0 19 866132 0 ref Law differs from a scientific theory in that it does not posit a mechanism or explanation of phenomena it is merely a distillation of the results of repeated observation.

Freedom Scientific freedom is the idea of freedom in the sense of Freedom of thought and Freedom of the press applied to natural science, in particular the practices of scientific research and discourse, mainly by publication. The ideal is promoted by many organizations of scientists, and is the subject of article 15 3 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights . One classic defence of the idea is in Michael Polanyi s book, Personal Knowledge 1958 . Polanyi criticized the common view that the scientificmethod is purely objective and generates objective knowledge. Polanyi cast this view as a misunderstanding of the scientificmethod and of the nature of scientific inquiry, generally. He argued that scientists do and must follow personal passions in appraising facts and in determining which scientific questions to investigate. He concluded that a structure of liberty is essential for the advancement of science that the freedom to pursue science for its own sake is a prerequisite for the production of knowledge through peer review and the scientificmethod . ref cite book author Michael Polanyi title Personal Knowledge year 1958 isbn 0773491503 ref Polanyi subsequently co founded the Society for Freedom in Science . ref cite journal doi 10.1007 BF01102181 author William McGucken year 1978 title On Freedom and Planning in Science The Society for Freedom in Science 1940&ndash 1946 journal Minerva disambiguation Minerva volume 16 issue 1 pages 42&ndash 72 ... and associations AAAS Award for Scientific Freedom and Responsibility American Association for the Advancement ...

Science Scientific enterprise refers to science based project s developed by, or in cooperation with, private entrepreneur s. For example, in the Age of Exploration , leaders like Henry the Navigator founded schools of navigation, from which stemmed voyages of exploration. Examples of enterprising scientific organizations Each of the organizations listed below, have the ability to conduct scientific research on an extended basis, involving multiple researchers over an extended time. Generally, the research is funded not only for the science itself, but for some application which shows promise for the enterprise. But the researchers, if left to their own choices, will tend to follow their research interest, which is essential for the long term health of their chosen field. Note that a successful scientific enterprise is not equivalent to a successful high tech enterprise or to a successful business enterprise, but that they form an ecology, a Process of scientific change, or progress food chain .

Unreferenced date May 2010 file sincsci.jpg thumb Sinclair Scientific calculator photographed circa 1974 The Sinclair Scientific calculator was a 12 function, pocket sized calculator, selling for about 100 in the USA and around 45 in the UK. The Sinclair Scientific first appeared in a case derived from that of the Sinclair Cambridge , but it was not part of the same range. At the time it was launched, in August 1975, it was a highly unusual calculator. It displays only in scientific notation 5 digit mantissa, 2 digit exponent. Because of the way its processor a custom chip from Texas Instruments is designed, it relies on Reverse Polish notation reverse Polish notation RPN . This unusual method of mathematical problem solving meant that, for instance, to add 2 and 4, one had to enter 2, then 4, then the symbol. There was no key. The Scientific Programmable was an advanced version launched in 1977, again using reverse Polish notation. It could handle programs of up to 24 steps and cost 29.95. It used four AAA batteries. The Scientific Programmable Mark 2 was powered either by a Nine volt battery 9V battery or a mains adaptor and cost 17.22. It came with twelve sample programs, with another 294 contained in an additional four volume library which could be bought for 4.95. Each volume was dedicated to a different application finance and statistics, mathematics, physics and engineering, and electronics. It also used Reverse Polish notation RPN . An ingenious aspect of the design which showed Clive Sinclair Sinclair s inventiveness was that the machine made use of what was originally a 4 function calculator chip. Sinclair realised that by using Reverse Polish notation RPN and allowing a reduced precision of 4 or 5 significant figures displayed in scientific notation, the algorithms for scientific functions could be redesigned and compacted to fit in the same programmable space on the chip. This allowed Sinclair to adapt the relatively low cost processor and produce an electronic ... more details
