Read Chapter 6 of Bertrand Russell’s The Problems of Philosophy.

After reading that chapter, answer the questions below in your notes.

Stephen: Paper always burns, that’s a scientific fact.
Claire: No it’s not, paper doesn’t burn if it’s wet!

  1. Is “paper always burns” a scientific fact? Is “paper always burns unless it’s wet” a scientific fact?
  2. Can you think of any scientific claims that are always true, without exception? What are they?
  3. Does science depend on the assumption of the uniformity of nature? Explain.
