 In what context?

Did you really mean to post this in homework, where there are special rules?

 

Before you answer can I point out that new starters can only post 5 posts in the first 24 hours so don't waste them.

Give a full and proper explanation of what you are trying to do.

Good day ; Yes I mean to post it; 

Context: philosophy of science home work 

 

Philosophy of science, 1 credit,

Each student should independently write an essay on philosophy of science.  pick your question and respond on it in relation to the literature. The essay should be 500-1000 words

So what does that essay title means to you ?

 

I would say it should distinguish between what Science can and cannot explain and say why.

 

But check with your tutor/lecturer that you and she agree what you are going to write about, it is a very loosly defined title.
