Book Description
Claims that science may becoming 'self-fulfilling' through its impact on objects of study have recently risen to prominence. Despite radical statements about the supposed consequences of such accounts, however, the central notion of scientific self-fulfillment has remained obscure, leading to skewed views of its actual prevalence and significance. Self-Fulfilling Science illuminates this underexplored phenomenon, drawing on insights from philosophy of science to address questions of its conceptualization, prevalence, and significance. The book critically engages with the popular notion that economic theories of homo economicus exhibit self-fulfillment, and explores its relevance to various metaphysical, ethical, and epistemic issues. Extreme claims of fundamental incompatibility with our usual notions of scientific success are ill-founded. Instead, self-fulfillment’s true epistemic significance lies in more local, nuanced philosophical issues such as theory evaluation and the thesis of underdetermination. In presenting a novel framework, this book facilitates deeper engagement with the developing field of self-fulfilling science, and is of interest to philosophers of science, social scientists, and social constructionists.

The Gospel of Science is not pollyannish about this answer, but methodically builds this conclusion over hundreds of pages of cited scientific articles, studies, and data.This unparalleled book shows scientific proof of a technique that makes us far more capable of "actualizing" the kind of life and world we seek. Do yourself and the world a huge favor, read The Gospel of Science, and then spread that gospel in every way you can.

Book Description
Originally published in 1910, The Science of Being Well applies the power of positive thinking to getting and maintaining good physical health.

Students of religious studies will be intrigued by this book from the New Thought tradition. And those wanting a new way to improve their health may find Wattles' approach empowering. American author WALLACE DELOIS WATTLES (1860-1911) overcame poverty and failure in his life to become a pioneer of the early self-help movement. Among his books are The Science of Being Great and How to Be a Genius.

Book Description
O objetivo deste livro é propor a constituição de uma nova ciência, com fundamentação filosófica. Neste sentido, a Psicosmologia se constituiria em sistema científico, enquanto parte da observação e experimentação empírica de fenômenos de natureza metafísica, o que vem a constituir também um viés filosófico, considerando que os fenômenos são de ordem espiritual.

Book Description
This is a study of a method of thinking in the social sciences known as the loop concept. This concept underlies the notions of feedback and circular causality. After tracing its historical roots, the author argues that modern usage of feedback thinking in the social sciences divides into two main lines of development. He makes extensive use of the analysis of citations and texts from many branches of the social sciences to document this split and to trace its development and implications. The presumption underlying this work is that feedback thinking is one of the most penetrating patterns of thought in all social science. Part of the purpose of the text is to illuminate the significance of feedback thinking in social science and social policy - current as well as classical. (Quelle: amazon)
