The Scientific Attitude In the SFL Community

Russell (1961: 514):
the scientific attitude: it is not what the man of science believes that distinguishes him, but how and why he believes it.  His beliefs are tentative, not dogmatic; they are based on evidence, not on authority or intuition. … the test of a scientific truth is patient collection of facts, combined with bold guessing as to laws binding the facts together.
