Keynote Speaker
How the Social Network of Knowledge Leads to Scientific Truth
J. Edward Swan II, Mississippi State University
Science, as practiced since the Renaissance, can lead to true outcomes, as measured by the astounding growth in technology and prosperity since that time. How can this be, and why did it start at that time? For many centuries, this question has been explored by philosophers and historians. This talk will cover some of this history, and address puzzles such as:
-
No one person knows the truth, yet truth nevertheless emerges from scientific inquiry.
-
Philosophers cannot even cleanly define the concept of “truth”, yet truth nevertheless emerges from scientific inquiry.
-
In every field and sub-field of scientific knowledge and technology, complexity is ever growing, far beyond what any one person can comprehend, yet truth nevertheless emerges from scientific inquiry.
As one who uses empirical methods to pursue scientific inquiry, the speaker has found understanding some of this history to be helpful, especially when pondering the worth or meaning of conducting specific experiments.
