Short Communication - THE METAPHYSICAL AND EPIC RISE OF THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD (From the Chaos and Ashes of Superstition and Religious dogmatism) (Scientific Method I)
Uriah Hukumere Chinwah
Abstract
This paper has attempted to sketch the rather shaky beginnings of the metaphysical and epic rise of the "Scientific Method" as it emerges from the midst of superstitution and the labyrinths of unbelieving dogmatic authoritarianism of the religious mode into the sunlit skies of logic, coherence and purposeful (systematic) development and power. This rise is traced from its early beginnings in the philosophical musings of the Pre-Socratics, through the intuitive and pragmatic thoughts of Francis Bacon, and the illumining starting point to the present. @JASEM
