Abstract:
The way you view science limits the things that you can do "scientifically". Fortunately "science" is not a single thing but an evolving concept of how to cope with the world, and this flexible attitude towards science can be useful. The rigid view gives strict guidance on how to proceed "scientifically", while the more flexible approach allows for a greater range of response on your part. This paper gives some of the various views of what science is, in the hope that it will liberate you from being too strict without at the same time losing the useful guidance that "science" often provides.
