• W1486134792 abstract "I INTRODUCTION The source of our difficulties with in law and is related to images. Practice as experienced in law contrasts with conventions accepted in science. The difficulties in applying science in law are commonly explained in terms of differences in conventions, (1) but to some significant extent they are result of images by which those differences are identified. By clarifying these differences, we can perhaps leave aside those places where differences are only apparent and concentrate instead on those where real differences do exist and cause real difficulties. II IMAGES OF SCIENCE The of forensic practice described in Guidelines is no doubt broadly correct. (2) After all, Guidelines is related directly to difficulties experienced in ordinary work of courts. But of science invoked here is quite otherwise. It is derived from a certain portrait of science as an essentially gentlemanly, honorable pursuit, whose conventions ensure unfailing courtesy and goodwill. Now, that portrait, which is derived from a traditional self-image of science, is also born of experience. But that traditional self-image of science was not outcome of an empirical social science enquiry. It resulted rather more from an exercise analogous to propaganda that arose largely from what was once eloquently described as the warfare of science with theology in Christendom. (3) In opening line of classic radical analysis of scientific practice, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn spoke of image of science by which we are now possessed. (4) For him, this was largely a fabrication for which previous generations of historians were responsible. (5) This is not place to analyze that image, its history, and its consequences. But it does recall of classical Athenian society (democratic, open, and engaged) as portrayed in Pericles' 431 B.C. funeral orations. (6) That Periclean image, too, was rooted in genuine, lived experience and it also served as a source of idealism, both for Pericles' contemporaries and then for those born millennia later. But when taken as an objective description of Athenian society for purpose of later scholarly analysis, that was seriously defective and misleading. This revealing history of an is relevant here. It can perhaps help sort out some of difficulties of science in legal settings that have brought us to discussion addressed in this symposium and that will require adjusting and modernizing of science and its conventions. By examining some of varieties of scientific practice, defined in terms of function of their products, we can place forensic practice--its context and functions--as just one among many. Of course, it has its characteristic features and its points of tension and conflict with others. But by means of such an analysis we can escape from supposedly unbridgeable chasm between two utterly different sorts of conventions and forms of practice. A. Varieties of Scientific Experience This analysis is not intended to be at all definitive or refined. Its goal is only to establish a useful point. The analysis starts with iconic sort of science--pure or basic research. Just to be clear about fundamentals: even this sort of research does not consist of discovering facts as if they were pebbles that Sir Isaac Newton famously imagined himself picking up on beach. (7) Of course, discovery is there, and indeed is at core. But actual work consists of setting and investigating problems, in form of hypotheses that are more or less formalized, about some aspect of workings of world out there under study. Now, what makes this sort of work pure is that, in an important sense, its productions do not matter. That is, function of activity is internally oriented. …" @default.
