   Science \Sci"ence\, n. [F., fr. L. scientia, fr. sciens, -entis,
      p. pr. of scire to know. Cf. {Conscience}, {Conscious},
      {Nice}.]
      1. Knowledge; knowledge of principles and causes; ascertained
            truth of facts.
  
                     If we conceive God's sight or science, before the
                     creation, to be extended to all and every part of
                     the world, seeing everything as it is, . . . his
                     science or sight from all eternity lays no necessity
                     on anything to come to pass.               --Hammond.
  
                     Shakespeare's deep and accurate science in mental

      2. Accumulated and established knowledge, which has been
            systematized and formulated with reference to the
            discovery of general truths or the operation of general
            laws; knowledge classified and made available in work,
            life, or the search for truth; comprehensive, profound, or
            philosophical knowledge.
  
                     All this new science that men lere [teach].
                                                                              --Chaucer.
  
                     Science is . . . a complement of cognitions, having,
                     in point of form, the character of logical
                     perfection, and in point of matter, the character of
                     real truth.                                       --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
      3. Especially, such knowledge when it relates to the physical
            world and its phenomena, the nature, constitution, and
            forces of matter, the qualities and functions of living
            tissues, etc.; -- called also {natural science}, and
            {physical science}.
  
                     Voltaire hardly left a single corner of the field
                     entirely unexplored in science, poetry, history,
                     philosophy.                                       --J. Morley.
  
      4. Any branch or department of systematized knowledge
            considered as a distinct field of investigation or object
            of study; as, the science of astronomy, of chemistry, or
            of mind.
  
      Note: The ancients reckoned seven sciences, namely, grammar,
               rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, music, geometry, and
               astronomy; -- the first three being included in the
               Trivium, the remaining four in the Quadrivium.
  
                        Good sense, which only is the gift of Heaven, And
                        though no science, fairly worth the seven.
                                                                              --Pope.
  
      5. Art, skill, or expertness, regarded as the result of
            knowledge of laws and principles.
  
                     His science, coolness, and great strength. --G. A.
                                                                              Lawrence.
  
      Note: Science is applied or pure. Applied science is a
               knowledge of facts, events, or phenomena, as explained,
               accounted for, or produced, by means of powers, causes,
               or laws. Pure science is the knowledge of these powers,
               causes, or laws, considered apart, or as pure from all
               applications. Both these terms have a similar and
               special signification when applied to the science of
               quantity; as, the applied and pure mathematics. Exact
               science is knowledge so systematized that prediction
               and verification, by measurement, experiment,
               observation, etc., are possible. The mathematical and
               physical sciences are called the exact sciences.
  
      {Comparative sciences}, {Inductive sciences}. See under
            {Comparative}, and {Inductive}.
  
      Syn: Literature; art; knowledge.
  
      Usage: {Science}, {Literature}, {Art}. Science is literally
                  knowledge, but more usually denotes a systematic and
                  orderly arrangement of knowledge. In a more
                  distinctive sense, science embraces those branches of
                  knowledge of which the subject-matter is either
                  ultimate principles, or facts as explained by
                  principles or laws thus arranged in natural order. The
                  term literature sometimes denotes all compositions not
                  embraced under science, but usually confined to the
                  belles-lettres. [See {Literature}.] Art is that which
                  depends on practice and skill in performance. [bd]In
                  science, scimus ut sciamus; in art, scimus ut
                  producamus. And, therefore, science and art may be
                  said to be investigations of truth; but one, science,
                  inquires for the sake of knowledge; the other, art,
                  for the sake of production; and hence science is more
                  concerned with the higher truths, art with the lower;
                  and science never is engaged, as art is, in productive
                  application. And the most perfect state of science,
                  therefore, will be the most high and accurate inquiry;
                  the perfection of art will be the most apt and
                  efficient system of rules; art always throwing itself
                  into the form of rules.[b8] --Karslake.

      Usage: {Sense}, {Understanding}, {Reason}. Some philosophers
                  have given a technical signification to these terms,
                  which may here be stated. Sense is the mind's acting
                  in the direct cognition either of material objects or
                  of its own mental states. In the first case it is
                  called the outer, in the second the inner, sense.
                  Understanding is the logical faculty, i. e., the power
                  of apprehending under general conceptions, or the
                  power of classifying, arranging, and making
                  deductions. Reason is the power of apprehending those
                  first or fundamental truths or principles which are
                  the conditions of all real and scientific knowledge,
                  and which control the mind in all its processes of
                  investigation and deduction. These distinctions are
                  given, not as established, but simply because they
                  often occur in writers of the present day.

                  and the morality of actions.[b8]

                  called the outer, in the second the inner, sense.
