Science
Science is the systematic knowledge gained by use of reason based on observation.
Each field of science studies the nature of a certain kind of entity
Scientific knowledge is induced from observations, finding the single causal principle that explains a wide range of observed facts, integrated into all other knowledge without contradiction. (The crucial role of experimentation is to isolate possible causes.) Because scientific knowledge is the integration of observations into contextual principles, it must be understood historically, to know what it is that men observed and why certain principles are necessitated and justified by these observations.
