More From Maria Montessori

Science starts with preconception, with the common culture, and with common sense. it moves on to observation, is marked by the discovery of paradox, and is then concerned with the correction of preconception. it moves then to use these corrections for the designing of further observation and for more refined experiment. and as it moves along this course the nature of the evidence and experience that nourish it becomes more and more unfamiliar; it is not just the language that is strange [to common culture].
Moving Science Discovery
As in mathematicks, so in natural philosophy, the investigation of difficult things by the method of analysis, ought ever to precede the method of composition. this analysis consists in making experiments and observations, and in drawing general conclusions from them by induction, and admitting of no objections against the conclusions, but such as are taken from experiments, or other certain truths. for hypotheses are not to be regarded in experimental philosophy.
Truth Philosophy Taken
Philosophers of science constantly discuss theories and representation of reality, but say almost nothing about experiment, technology, or the use of knowledge to alter the world. this is odd, because 'experimental method' used to be just another name for scientific method.... i hope [to] initiate a back-to-bacon movement, in which we attend more seriously to experimental science. experimentation has a life of its own.
Science Technology Reality
The physicist, in his study of natural phenomena, has two methods of making progress: (1) the method of experiment and observation, and (2) the method of mathematical reasoning. the former is just the collection of selected data; the latter enables one to infer results about experiments that have not been performed. there is no logical reason why the second method should be possible at all, but one has found in practice that it does work and meets with reasonable success.
Math Practice Data
A man must first of all understand certain things. he has thousands of false ideas and false conceptions, chiefly about himself, and he must get rid of some of them before beginning to acquire anything new. otherwise the new will be built on a wrong foundation and the result will be worse than before. to speak the truth is the most difficult thing in the world; one must study a great deal and for a long time in order to speak the truth. the wish alone is not enough. to speak the truth one must know what the truth is and what a lie is, and first of all in oneself. and this nobody wants to know.

I definitely consider myself a method actor, because of my training. i might dispute what people consider a method actor to be. for my money, a method actor is an actor who has a technique. that has a method. and not one method, but whatever might be required. so a method actor is always learning.

An en is a karmic bond lasting a lifetime. nowadays many people seem to believe their lives are entirely a matter of choice; but in my day we viewed ourselves as pieces of clay that forever show the fingerprints of everyone who has touched them.
