[align=justify][box_out][box_in] Among philosophers of science, there is much debate over the role of sense data. For many thinkers, the entire foundation of empirical science can be reduced to perceptions, and therefore experiences. But some philosophers have taken issue with this perspective. One critique involves the means by which we accept a statement as justified.
Unless we allow that scientific statements be accepted on faith alone, a view distasteful to many members of the scientific enterprise, then we must have some way of justifying our propositions. One approach to justification involves deductive justification, in which a proposition is subject to logical argument. But this method fails because it leads to an infinite regress. The statements used to justify a proposition must themselves be justified, and so too those statements, into infinity.
So justification cannot come through the use of argument. Another way to avoid dogmatism in the sciences is justification through perceptual experience.
