3. We should help young people understand what makes science science, because
that has to do with HOW knowledge (as opposed to opinion) is built. They would benefit from understanding what "the philosophy of science" is so they can see how all science is united by its logic and specific traits of its processes, how rational empiricism IN - forms the tools, methods, processes and environments of science. Apparently too much is being done for the low-level details and not enough for the high-level conceptual unity of what we refer to as knowledge.
