Несмотря на многообразие современных научных знаний проблема человека и его эволюции остается актуальной в интердисциплинарной перспективе. Анализ одной из таких эволюционных моделей, созданной французским философом Пьером Тейяром де Шарденом в его труде «Феномен Человека», является целью статьи. В ее формате рассмотрены философские, теологические и научные идеи, позволившие этому автору создать собственное оригинальное видение феномена человека, до сих пор оживленно обсуждаемое представителями различных научных дисциплин, философами и теологами. Despite the diversity of contemporary scientific knowledge, the problem of man and his evolution remains relevant in an interdisciplinary perspective. The analysis of one of such evolutionary models created by the French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in his work «The Phenomenon of Man» is the aim of this article. In its format, philosophical, theological and scientific ideas that allowed this author to create his own original vision of the human phenomenon are considered. They are still actively discussed by representatives of various scientific disciplines, philosophers and theologians.

Scientific Thoughts Expressed by Old Tamil Literatures Synopsis Science is a scientific form of thought recorded in old Tamil literature.  Thoughts can be seen as expressions of the life activities of the people of that time.  Scientific ideas also merged with the ancient Tamils as they tended to adapt their lives to nature.  They have lived with biological, astronomical, mathematical, medical, biological, chronological, craft, geological, etc. scientific disciplines.  This study is aimed at identifying and documenting the reflections of such scientific ideas on how they have been studied in ancient Tamil literature.  The dissertation is characterized by the fact that the dissertation has been used extensively in old Tamil literature, as well as old Tamil essays, magazines, and electronic commentaries.  Based on these, the study concludes that Tamils have had the best scientific knowledge since the dawn of time.  Therefore, this study also suggests that many more studies should be carried out by researchers focusing on the ancient Tamil literature.

Preventive medicine is an area of scientific knowledge about the preservation and strengthening of the health of the population, the laws of its formation in unity with the environment. It is closely related to ecology, sociology, biology and other scientific disciplines, knowledge of which is necessary to identify cause-and-effect relationships in a complex health-environment system.

Definition Of

This chapter offers a definition of science that encompasses the interacting elements of theory, prediction, observation, and testing. The chapter also discusses disciplines and professions and their boundaries, capitalizing on the work of Abbott and Jacobs on interdisciplinarity. Disciplines are essential for science and learning, and interdisciplinarity is sometimes crucial to solving vexing problems in science—but “inter-” or “trans-” disciplinary work is only viable in the context of disciplines and disciplinary identity. A crucial linking construct in social work science is technology, which is the application of scientific knowledge to human life. In terms of identity, social work science has a dual focus on scientific understanding as well as on using and developing methods (technologies) for human behavior change on multiple levels. In many areas of society, the existence of scientific disciplines that merge with professions forms the nexus of understanding and technology for solving “problems in living.”

AbstractThe process of scientific knowledge generation is accompanied by an on-going transformation of the corresponding scientific discipline. Scientists develop new theories and methods and discard old ones. Thus, scientific disciplines can be considered as a result of negotiations within the scientific community. The paper focuses on the following questions: Which theories, methods and sub-disciplines do scientists regard as part of a scientific discipline? How do scientists label and define these theories, methods and sub-disciplines? Which linguistic practices do scientists apply to authorize new scientific approaches? With recourse to “The Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact” by Ludwik Fleck as well as “Epistemic cultures” and “The manufacture of knowledge” by Karin Knorr-Cetina, the paper shows why it is reasonable to see science as a social practice. It also discusses the role language plays when linguists try to establish new approaches and focuses on the linguistic practices of labeling, locating and defininig.

Although often dismissed as a Victorian curiosity, the faith of Tennyson's In Memoriam anticipates the radically modern religious vision of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Both In Memoriam and Teilhard's The Phenomenon of Man stress the need for modern man to see the human phenomenon in the light of recent scientific knowledge. Both works portray the anxiety and doubt that such a vision entails; both works portray the shape that faith must take if man is to survive. Tennyson and Teilhard see modern doubt as stemming from the space-time malady: overwhelmed by the enormity of the universe, modern man fears his existence is both frail and futile. To counter this malady, both men develop a cosmic faith stressing love as the spiritual energy that drives evolution onward; the need for greater knowledge, communication, and spiritual growth; and an awareness of human survival after death. Translating this faith into Christian terms, both men see man's salvation in his efforts to evolve toward a cosmic Christ-that-is-to-be. Although Tennyson speaks as poet in mostly personal terms and Teilhard speaks as scientist-sage in more general terms, both men use art to lead the reader to Real Assent.

Scientific Ideas

AbstractScientific ideas are often expressed as mathematical equations. Understanding the ideas contained within these equations requires making sense of both the embedded mathematics knowledge and scientific knowledge. Students who can engage in this type of blended sensemaking are more successful at solving novel or more complex problems with these equations. However, students often tend to rely on algorithmic/procedural approaches and struggle to make sense of the underlying science. This deficit may partly be the fault of instruction that focuses on superficial connections with the science and mathematics knowledge such as defining variables in the equation and demonstrating step-by-step procedures for solving problems. Research into the types of sensemaking of mathematical equations in science contexts is hindered by the absence of a shared framework. Therefore, a review of the literature was completed to identify themes addressing sensemaking of mathematical equations in science. These themes were compiled into nine categories, four in the science sensemaking dimension and five in the mathematics sensemaking dimension. This framework will allow for comparison across studies on the teaching and learning of mathematical equations in science and thus help to advance our understanding of how students engage in sensemaking when solving quantitative problems as well as how instruction influences this sensemaking.

Over the last two decades, there has been more comprehensive and focused research on old prints produced by the historical Jesuit Trnava University. It existed in Trnava between 1635 and 1777, when it was moved to Buda (today's Budapest, Hungary) by the monarch Maria Theresa. Thus the university influenced the educational level of the Hungarian population in the 17th and especially the 18th century, and became the centre of Baroque education in what is today Slovakia. The establishment and existence of Trnava University was of fundamental importance for the development of many scientific disciplines, which was further multiplied by the titles published by the Academic Printing House. The aim of this study is to highlight those aspects of the activities of the university and individuals that have contributed to a major breakthrough in scientific knowledge and at the same time have been the subject of partial or systematic research since 2000.

The Relationship

AbstractWords are the building blocks of science. As our understanding of the world progresses, scientific disciplines naturally enrich their specialized vocabulary (jargon). However, in the era of interdisciplinarity, the use of jargon may hinder effective communication amongst scientists that do not share a common linguistic background. The question of how jargon limits the transmission of scientific knowledge has long been debated, but rarely addressed quantitatively. We explored the relationship between the use of jargon and citations using 21,486 articles focusing on cave research, a multidisciplinary field particularly prone to terminological specialization and where linguistic disagreement among peers is frequent. We demonstrate that the use of jargon in the title and abstract significantly reduces the number of citations a paper receives. Given that these elements are the hook to readers, we urge scientists to restrict jargon to sections of the paper where its use is unavoidable.

This study discusses the extent to which Goodman’s constructivist conception of worldmaking may serve the needs of scientific practice. I argue that worldmaking should help us retain a common methodological order and a basic framework for scientific pluralism. In this way it should provide us not only with better scientific knowledge but also with a greater understanding of the world in general that would be inclusive of both scientific and nonscientific disciplines. The main purpose of this paper is to show that, if revisited, Goodman’s idea of versions, including even mutually exclusive scientific theories, can aid the gradual progress of pluralistic science. Taking the prevailing criticism of Goodman’s conception into account, I argue that worldmaking can serve as a methodological apparatus for scientific disciplines because it presents a position of moderated constructivism which, thanks to the variable criterion of rightness, offers a way to maintain both relativism and skepticism.
