Knowledge and Modern Science
Abstract
This academic article aims to study the concept of knowledge and modern science, as well as the relationship between these two concepts in the development of society and technology. The study employs a conceptual and theoretical analysis of knowledge, encompassing both philosophical and scientific perspectives, alongside an examination of the evolution of modern science to present an overview of the body of knowledge that drives scientific and technological advancements. The study finds that knowledge can be categorized into various types, including theoretical knowledge, empirical knowledge, and practical knowledge, all of which play a crucial role in advancing modern science. Furthermore, modern science continues to evolve through scientific processes such as hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and data validation. These processes contribute to the generation of new knowledge that can be applied in various fields, including information technology, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence. The findings indicate that knowledge and modern science are deeply interconnected. Knowledge serves as the foundation for scientific development, while modern science expands the boundaries of knowledge. Additionally, the advancement of knowledge and modern science significantly impacts societal changes, particularly in the realms of economy, education, and culture. Therefore, understanding knowledge and modern science is essential for sustainable development in the future.
