Abstract
The presuppositions of science are unprovable assumptions about the physical world and ourselves that have several vital roles. Without a basic understanding of science’s presuppositions, no accounts can be given of how science achieves full disclosure, legitimates its presuppositions, has admissible evidence, justifies any conclusions, and specifies its referents. At stake is the competence of scientists to explain science as a rational activity.
