Abstract

This essay concerns educational philosophy and addresses effects arising from the shortfalls and dangers that attend the Positivist theory of existence. premise is: The common consensus seems to be that scientific reductionism is too flawed to act as a valid philosophical viewpoint. Utilizing cancer and nuclear energy as examples, the author exposes mortal and moral errors due to Positivist oversight, bias and subsequent social constructions that enable a continuum of universal harm in the wake of the reductionist paradigm. writer references concerns, approaches and designs of Goethe and Newton towards research with a view to renew an appreciation for the moral dimensions of scientific endeavor that have been generally abandoned.
