Definitions and Differences of Sciences

Some basic foundational questions will contribute to the manner in which knowledge is obtained in that discipline  [Pg.42]

A correct response to these questions—which, at the end of the day, should provide clear definitions—is part of the broader question that serves to demarcate the bounds of these disciplines responding to its own question To what extent do each of these disciplines span the realm of human knowledge  [Pg.43]

Indeed, the true, the good, and the beautiful are among those few but extremely important metaphysical terms called transcendentals —terms which apply to all contingent beings to the extent they exist, and as such are not valuative but ontological.A fly is beautiful, but not beautiful in the way people normally [Pg.43]

A rock, in turn and in this sense, is less beautiful than a fly, but again not an emotional, aesthetic, or valuative sense. God does not exist —He IS Existence Itself, without a hint of potency (hence, unchanging), utterly simple, and in that sense He is Beauty Itself.  [Pg.44]

Now that the answer to what does science do has been introduced, names can be attached to the doing (1) the theoretical or speculative sciences are those in which truth as truth is studied (2) in the applied sciences truth in do-ing/action and truth in making/beauty are studied and (3) in the methodological sciences how human reasoning leads to truth are studied. [Pg.45]
