Printer-Friendly Format
Nor are science and ethics the same thing. The sciences are descriptive disciplines aimed at explaining and predicting in which we try to discover and articulate natural laws and regularities that in fact govern the behavior and relationships of objects in the natural world. We commonly believe that scientific laws are discovered in the world, and that science provides real knowledge about the actual workings of nature.
