Logical Reasoning Question 15
Question; Direction; Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
The first claim Feyerabend presents, is the idea that scientific innovation cannot be accepted even if we do claim to have evidence. According to him, scientific material and experiences must have a personal interaction with whoever and whatever it comes in contact with to essentially appear objectively as well as give one the belief in science. Similarly, Tie notes that the belief in science is not by sight or experience solely because, regardless of what entity we talk about, they may not want to be found. A claim he makes to reinforce this idea is that matter can be captured; however, what we can capture, God cannot. In the case of Mathews, she extrapolates that “It is through reason that we make our beliefs accountable to others. When we have reason and proof behind our statements and claims, we are inclined to believe. In contrast to Feyerabend, proof of scientific innovation involves observations and repeated trials regardless of interaction with the individual. What is inferred from Feyerabends claim?
Options:
A) Scientific innovations can be accepted if there is sufficient evidence
