message: You have GOT to be kidding me. Who on earth listed law as a science? Even a social science? Good heavens. There is NO way whatsoever law is a science, let me tell you. I speak as someone with extensive experience in legal matters, and 2 bachelors 3 masters and a phd in physics and applied mathematics. Law is NOT science !!--Filll 01:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Law is a science?

message: Scientific adjectives is a sub-project of the WikiProject Conceptual Jungle, aiming at making an overview in a table of scientific adjectives and the various branches of (the) science(s) and qualify them by discussing them, improving the Wikipedia articles and make clear the interlinkages.
Please feel free to add your contributions to the table. Best regards, Brz7 12:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The only reference I a seeing that somewhat reflects the list if from the JACS. I believe this needs merits more references!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.137.207 (talk) 04:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: If there is no peer-reviewed citation to back this up, I would like this to be removed.  As venerable a field phlosophy is, it is not broadly included among the social sciences.  In addition, as I understand it, the "social sciences" are such specifically because they are empirical, which is not a defining characteristic of philosophy.

message: I moved atmospheric science from the environmental science section to the earth science section.  Also, I deleted Geoscience from the environmental science list because geoscience is another name for earth science.

message: I agree with the suggestion. As the article stands it is clearly original research, with various editors deciding what should be listed as a 'field of science' and what should not be listed. This is why we have 'military history' but not ballistics, 'economic history' but not history itself, law, etc. Dougweller (talk) 13:04, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I understand from reading the Cognitive Science page that Artificial Intelligence is included as a part of Cognitive Sciences. However, the Computer Science page defines Computer Science as "the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems". I may be incorrect, but it seems like it is too general to include Computer Science under Cognitive Sciences. It might be more correct to put AI instead. Putting Computer Science under Cognitive Science seems akin to adding Physics because Magnetism is used in fMRI machines, which have applications in Neuroscience. I may be off base here, it just was a bit of a surprise to see Computer Science listed under Cognitive Sciences. Would anyone be opposed to me replacing Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence?

replies: text: You are absolutely correct. In fact, cognitive science intersects AI, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, etc; it does not subsume any of them. My view is that all five sub-headings (computer sciences, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics) of "cognitive science" should be deleted. Cognitive science is just a multi-disciplinary study of cognition, a traditional sub-field of psychology.--Palaeoviatalk 11:12, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Does the page need more references or is it an arbitrary process for adding sciences?  I would like to help reorganize it, but I'm not sure what the rules are on listing/removing fields. Pluemaster (talk) 00:52, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  More references? 

message: How do the Environmental Sciences differ from the Earth Sciences? It seems to me that environmental sciences are earth sciences which interact with life studies. For example, Environmental Geology is just the study of geology as pertaining to humans and life.
I strongly suggest the Environmental Sciences section be distributed to the field of Life Sciences. If I do not soon see any arguments for such a substantial change, I will move them.
