The Truth About Western Science

[Siren]

Science derives from Latin scientia which literally means knowledge. Like many other words, it is grossly misinterpreted, misused, and misapplied. "Science" nowadays has come to be associated with microscopes, labs, rats, and brains (as if that were the only one and true way to know!); strictly segregating it from all metaphysical/spiritual connotations.

By definition, the terms "science" and "scientist" apply to anything and anyone who consciously seeks to and does acquire knowledge by study.

And do not overlook this either: conscience. From Latin con (with, within) + scientia (knowledge, knowing).
