THE ळींईटाटीण्श्र ऑफ़ थे श्रीण्टीई वर्ल्ड-VIEW

THE LIMITATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD-VIEW
All our perceptions of the world (reality) are relative hence incomplete. We cannot, due to the nature of our mind (perceptual and concentration mechanisms) know the whole of reality, but we can rather know only parts of it. Even the parts we know, we do not know completely or as they are in themselves, but as they are created, through the mediation of the senses, in our mind.
The foregoing goes on to support the thesis that the world-view provided by science is not complete, hence cannot be taken as the whole picture. This is thus, since there is no ground to support. Therefore, science can never provide any categorical statement as to what reality is in itself or what it is ultimately comprised of.
According to scientific definition of knowledge, knowledge is the product of a consciousness that is repeatable through verification by other researchers engaged in the same pursuit. Repeatability here presupposes that the content of this consciousness are observable data commonly known as facts. Facts are observable because they are amenable to concrete verification through the direct mediation of the sense and ,indirectly, through specialized instruments.
Given, therefore, that things can be understood not by themselves but through reference or in relation to other things, the fundamental assumption of science that the universe is material cannot be justified to the extent that other realms of experience can be disregarded.
Hence, we can, based on the dialectical nature of reality and its relativity, assert that there is an incorporeal order of existence analogous to the corporeal one, and that the two realms mutual affect each other through ways we are yet to fully understand.
