Scientists

A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense, a scientist is an Template:Wiki who uses the scientific method. The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, Template:Wiki and Template:Wiki realms.

Philosophy can be seen as a Template:Wiki activity, which is aimed towards a more comprehensive understanding of intangible aspects of reality and experience that cannot be Template:Wiki measured.

Scientists are also Template:Wiki from engineers, those who design, build and maintain devices for particular situations. When science is done with a goal toward Template:Wiki utility, it is called applied science. An applied scientist may not be designing something in particular, but rather is conducting research with the aim of developing new technologies and Template:Wiki methods. When science is done with an inclusion of intangible aspects of reality it is called natural philosophy. Template:W
