“...discussions of scientific methodology seem to be alive
only in the beginning of a science” [Bunge, 1967, p. 12]
Obvious rules of scientific method: [Bunge, 1967, p.10]
1. State your problem precisely
2. Try definite and somehow grounded conjectures
(hypotheses) rater than noncommittal or wild hunches
3. Subject your assumptions to rough tests rather than
to soft ones
4. Do not pronounce true a satisfactorily confirmed
hypothesis; regard it as, at best, partially true
5. Ask why the answer should be as it is and not otherwise.
