Have social scientists and physicists ever agreed on a scientific method that works for both?
Not really an agreement, but a proposition: ” in 2001, Bent Flyvbjerg in his book Making Social Science Matter identified a way out of the Science Wars by arguing that (1) social science is phronesis, whereas natural science is episteme, in the classical Greek meaning of the terms; (2) phronesis is well suited for the reflexive analysis and discussion of values and interests, which any society needs to thrive, whereas episteme is good for the development of predictive theory, and; (3) a well-functioning society needs both phronesis and episteme in balance, and one cannot substitute for the other.” Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Wars Further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phronesis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episteme
