Karl Pearson Method Quotations

There is no shortcut to truth, no way to gain knowledge of the universe except through the gateway of the scientific method.

The unity of all science consists alone in its method, not in its material.

If I have put the case of science at all correctly, the reader will have recognised that modern science does much more than demand that it shall be left in undisturbed possession of what the theologian and metaphysician please to term its 'legitimate field'. It claims that the whole range of phenomena, mental as well as physical-the entire universe-is its field. It asserts that the scientific method is the sole gateway to the whole region of knowledge.
