Chapter Overview

Knowledge about the world is gathered in several ways. In tenacity, a belief is accepted
because it is presented over and over again. Authority is a way of knowing in which we
accept an idea because an authority figure tells us to. Knowledge can be acquired
through reason and logic. Direct experience serves as the basis of common sense, which
can lead to knowledge. Each possesses shortcomings.

In contrast to these three, science relies upon the scientific method that allows for self-
correction of ideas. The examples of Croesus, Galen, and Semmelweis provide historical
insight in the development of science. Science verifies itself because of its empirical
nature whether one is studying at the cognitive, physiological, or behavioral level. In
investigating the subjective experience of subjects, science must rely upon making
inferences from what is directly observable and objective. Above all, science is a human
activity conducted by people and communicated to people.

Chapter Objectives

1. What roles do the scientist, research participant, and witness play in science?

2. Compare and contrast between the different methods of knowing: tenacity, authority,
reason, common sense, and science.

3. How did Galileo advance our thinking from authority to empiricism?
4. What is pseudoscience and why does it often influence people’s beliefs?

5. What important strides did Croesus, Galen, and Semmelweis make? How have we
advanced in our contemporary scientific approach?
