Excerpt from The Foundations of Science
The Latin word scientia, from scire, to learn or know, signifies, broadly, learning or knowledge. But, in general usage, the modern term science has come to mean an ordered knowledge of the phenomena or appearances of Nature, and of the connection or relations which have been discovered between them.
Custom and convenience have divided science into three main sections: physical science, biological science, and psychological science. Biological science, on the other hand, treats of living things, and of those special problems of matter and energy to which their life gives rise.
