Rethinking the scientific enterprise: in defense of reductionism (1301.0366v1)
Published 3 Jan 2013 in physics.hist-ph and quant-ph
Abstract: In this essay, I argue that modern science is not the dichotomous pairing of theory and experiment that it is typically presented as, and I offer an alternative paradigm defined by its functions as a human endeavor. I also demonstrate how certain scientific debates, such as the debate over the nature of the quantum state, can be partially resolved by this new paradigm.
