Under what circumstances is a systems approach in biology and under what circumstances is a reductionist approach more appropriate?
To what extent is research in secret ‘anti-scientific’?
There are conflicting views as to the harms and benefits of fats in diets. How do we decide between competing views?
To what extent do the labels and categories used in the pursuit of knowledge affect the knowledge we obtain?
For what reasons does falsification not always result in an immediate acceptance of new theories or a paradigm shift?
To what extent is the creation of an elegant protocol similar to the creation of a work of art?
What criteria are necessary for assessing the reliability of evidence?
Is knowledge based on science more valid than knowledge based on intuition?
Should scientific knowledge override compassionate considerations in treating infertile couples?
There is a link between sickle cell anemia and prevalence of malaria. How can we know whether there is a causal link in such cases or simply a correlation?
For what reasons do existing beliefs carry a certain inertia?
What factors would encourage the acceptance of new ideas by the scientific community?
What is the difference between a law and a theory in science?
How do paradigm shifts proceed in science and what factors are involved in their success?
How does the social context of scientific work affect the methods and findings of research? Is it necessary to consider the social context when evaluating ethical aspects of knowledge claims?
To what extent is conservatism in science desirable?
Is certainty ever possible in the natural sciences?
Do the entities in scientists’ models, for example trophic levels or Gersmehl diagrams, actually exist, or are they primarily useful inventions for predicting and explaining the natural world?
