What is Science?

Science is one of the broadest and most foundational subjects in academic writing, spanning disciplines from biology and physics to psychology, history, and philosophy. Students encounter science-related writing assignments across general education courses, specialized STEM programs, and humanities classes that examine how scientific thinking intersects with culture, religion, and society. What makes science academically compelling is its dual role as both a body of knowledge and a method of inquiry — a process through which humans build understanding of the natural and social world. Papers in this area frequently engage with questions about technology and responsibility, the relationship between science and religion, and the social implications of scientific advancement.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take an evaluative angle, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology or examining how scientific progress affects cultural beliefs and values. Others focus on specific applications, such as DNA profiling, geoinformatics, or celestial navigation. Historical and contextual analyses appear as well, including work on the Italian Renaissance as a period of scientific transformation. Certain papers move into adjacent fields like criminal psychopathology and classic social psychology experiments, showing how scientific frameworks shape disciplines beyond the hard sciences.

A strong essay on science succeeds by narrowing its scope to a clear, arguable thesis rather than attempting to survey the entire field. Evidence drawn from specific processes, case studies, or established theories tends to carry more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating description with analysis — simply explaining what science is rather than arguing why a particular aspect of it matters, how it functions, or what consequences it produces.

Marxian naturalism and the rejection of supernatural worldviews

Most Marxian's, in addition to seeing Marxianism as an emancipator social theory, have also seen it as a worldview. Moreover, they have attached considerable importance to it being a coherent and rationally sustainable worldview. As Wilfrid Sellars and Richard Rorty took philosophers to be doing, and legitimately so, Marxians as well want to see how things hang together in the broadest and most inclusive sense of that term. They want to establish, in doing this, that talk of a Spiritual or Supernatural World is nonsense, or at least a mistake, and, as Marx put it grandly, to establish "the truth of this world" (Rorty, 1976). Some of them were what we now call historicists (Gramsci most clearly), but none of them, not even Otto Neurath, were relativists, skeptics, or what some now call postmodernists, who think that there is no truth of this world, or of any world, to be established. They might, if they could have studied Quine and Davidson, and could have read their Putnam and Rorty, have come to be convinced that there is and can be no one uniquely true description of the world.
