520    Are there two kinds of problems - the scientific and the 
       philosophic - each requiring different methods for 
       solution? Or are there, rather, two different ways of 
       approaching a problem, each yielding a different answer 
       according to the method used? Biomedical researcher Sir 
       Harold Himsworth urges scientists not to shy away from 
       using scientific methods to grapple with problems 
       traditionally accepted as belonging to the province of 
       philosophy. The difference between science and philosophy 
       lies not in the problems to which they are directed, 
       Himsworth argues, but rather in the methods they use for 
       solving them. To the scientist, a proposition is something
       to be investigated; to the philosopher, something to be 
       accepted as a basis for thought. Since the development of 
       the scientific method, substantial progress has been made 
       toward mastering problems in the natural environment. If 
       we are ever to attain a degree of control over problems 
       that derive from human activities, Himsworth claims that 
       we only succeed by approaching them in a comparably 
       objective way.
