On the other hand, I also agree with the realist view that scientific truth is
there for scientists to discover. Even though there are topics in science in which I
would not be able to observe and merely agree to because I was taught that way,
there are many subjects that actually corresponds with the world I know. For
example, when I learned about sound waves and the different points of volume, it
helped me understand the reason why people scattered in a room may hear an
audio in various degrees of volume when it’s only coming from one source. These
theories allow me to more thoroughly understand the world, and therefore I would
consider them scientific truth. Therefore, there is no one right answer for whether
science gives us truth – each topic in science may have you consistently swinging
from one side of the debate to the other.
In this issue of Ecneics Magazine, our reporter, Jodie Ngan, will provide you
with a comprehensive analysis of the views mentioned above. Andy La, our
biographer, will give you a glimpse in the lives of the philosophers who were
associated with these views. Lastly, our columnist, Nickolas Morrison, will answer
the question, “Is global warming real?” We hope you enjoy reading the May 2014
issue of Ecneics Magazine and continue subscribing!
