Rather, one can recognize--and this is my view, which I believe is firmly grounded in the Posterior Analytics--that modern science is simply natural philosophy done in an excessively inductive vein, to the Don Pacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921692353515274589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24504461.post-59333753759626416682010-10-28T14:47:31.668-05:002010-10-28T14:47:31.668-05:00I do not say Maritain 'had no clue' what m...I do not say Maritain 'had no clue' what modern science is.
