The Nature of Scientific Theory in Biological Sciences

Abstract

This research serves as an introduction to the discussion about the nature of scientific theory in the biological sciences, and how its methodological vision differs from methodology in the physical sciences, after an introductory introduction in the first section of the research, about the reasons for the difference between ORV’s description of theories. The difficulties and challenges facing (ORV) rules for building theories in biological science theories were presented, since they are not applicable in biological theories. In the second section, the discussion was placed in a broader cognitive context by discussing the biological uniqueness of biological living systems, and aspects of variation in the nature and role of laws. Biological, and its description of biological phenomena. This refers to the natural, unexpected biological knowledge of biological systems. And the biological generalizations to which it refers (conceptual - causal, probabilistic theoretical models) are restricted, meaning that the generalities depend for their truth on the contingent - conditional - details of the development of life.
