Scientific Methods as Reference Tools of Mind

Karel Pstružina

Keywords: Scientific Methods, Observation, Structure of Mind

My intention is to offer for recognition view on scientific methods as the top result human mind and look for how something such like scientific methods are present in our minds. It means I would like to trace down objective processes that are carried out when scientists work.
They are several windows by which we can penetrate to our mind. We use the language as such window mostly; next window is neurophysiological approach; we can investigate the mind through artificial intelligence, too; etc., but I offer a proposal to use scientific methods as a window to mind. I hope it could be useful for specification the terms thinking as well as the consciousness.
I would like to begin my attempt to show what I have in my mind on the example scientific observation. But the same window to mind could be opened through all scientific methods, not only through scientific observation.
If I want to give an answer then I must investigate the process scientific observation at large and through that I can explain the operation of thinking, too.
Thinking makes not only matching and associative linking to other intentional contents of mind and evaluation of them but also thinking is still focused on the result of observation.
I infer from that several conclusions that will be in center of my contribution.
