Nature Split: Big Nature and Little Nature
摘要
As in Chaps. 6 and 7 , this chapter highlights large advances in general science and in their application to medicine, in particular. There always is a lag between the advances in general science and how they might be applied in medicine. There is also a philosophical response to what the structure of the scientific/medical paradigms mean and whether they should be permitted to go ahead without oversight. Two explanatory devices that sought to characterize this new science in the most positive way possible are also explored concerning their claims.
