問題詳情

But the success of science, both its intellectual excitement and its practical application, depends upon theself-correcting character of science. There must be a way of testing any valid idea. It must be possible to reproduce anyvalid experiment. The character or beliefs of scientists are irrelevant; all that matters is whether the evidence supportstheir contentions. Arguments from authority simply do not count; too many authorities have been mistaken too often. Iwould like to see these very effective scientific modes of thought communicated by the schools and the media; and itwould certainly be an astonishment and delight to see them introduced into politics. Scientists have been known tochange their minds completely and publicly when presented with new evidence or new arguments. I cannot recall thelast time a politician displayed a similar openness and willingness to change.

(A)Beliefs
