Non-scientific Methods

They hold that the world cannot be understood by science, but rather by religious revelations, mystical experience, or literary deconstructionism.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
