How to do science

peace,

Continuing the recent series of columns on what philosophy is (which I am just beginning to read), which initially deal with the objects observed by the (empirical) scientist, perhaps the Rabbi would be interested in reading (and perhaps even addressing in a future column) an article that I happened to come across, which was recently published (at the bottom of it it was noted that it is an adaptation of a book, which according to the publisher’s website was also published recently, in May 2018), and here is a link to it:

https://alaxon.co.il/article/%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9A-%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%A9%D7%94-%D7%9E%D7%93%D7%A2/

(If the link doesn’t work, the article is called “How is science done?” by Gideon Lev, on the “Alexon” website.)

I saw that the author of the article added a quote from Niels Bohr in the response, perhaps as a concise expression, or as a late motto, to his article. The same quote appeared in the response to column 155 [albeit in a different translation]. It seems to me that Bohr’s claim about what science is appears much more comprehensively in the above article, in terms of the areas of criticism and the presentation of alternative methods and trends, than in the discussion held in the response to the column.
Perhaps this is not enough reason to read the article or to refer to it, but for me, reading the quote in two different places on the same day was a “necessary reason” to refer to the link to the rabbi… 🙂
