ajop-1723	LAWAL, Lukman Ademola	AGAINST METHODISM: A SOCIO-HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SCIENCE	2021	15	.pdf	application/pdf	6522	280	46	Rule 1 states that: ―The aim of our studies should be to direct the mind with a view to forming true and sound judgements about whatever comes before it.‖ Rule 2 states that:―We should attend only to those objects of which our minds seem capable of having certain and indubitable cognition‖ (See Rene Descartes, Discourse on Method).However, certainty has come to be criticized as an aim for science, since most scientific theories are specified with a degree of error, thereby making certainty too high an objective for scientific theories to meet. However, only a few scientists have shown interest in the methodology of science, as such; thereby leaving the conceptualization and critical evaluation of the idea of scientific method to philosophers of science.	cache/ajop-1723.pdf	txt/ajop-1723.txt
