This is an essay written in early 2018 and has been published in Kalaya. I thought it will interest those philosophers who believe in "Mathematics is Ontology" and those scientists who believe in "A Scientific Method".
Those who cannot follow reasoning or give their own reasoning or consider this as gossip may add references.
What Is Science (Pattapal Boru)
Is there a specific method of acquiring knowledge, which is peculiar to Western Science? Starting with Francis Bacon up to Thomas Kuhn, perhaps the Philosophers of Science had thought so, though the methods that they had identified were not the same. They agreed that Science differs from other subjects and systems of knowledge mainly because there was a “scientific method” in acquiring knowledge. Paul Feyerabend on the other hand was of the opinion that there was no scientific method as such.
