Traditional research science is still good, but other ways of knowing should be equally valued! Why? Because science is actually the product of many of the other ways of knowing that reserach scientists seem to think below their objective measure.
The truth is, there is no way of truly knowing what objectivity
is because we all have our subjective way of experiencing and
interpreting the world.
This line of thinking is what led Rene Descarte to doubt everything. But, the only thing he knew he could not doubt was that he was doubting. Hence, his famous pronouncement, "I think, therefor I am." A better translation would've been, I doubt, therefore I know I am because I know it is me that is doubting.
Check out the ollowing books concerning the subjective nature of ALL scientific reserach!!!!!!!!!!!!
