knowledge claims are recognized as the primary location for rational evaluation, science looms larger. In its light the posits of scientific theory, more than any other form of understanding, gain support from rational evaluative canons. They offer the best account we have of the nature and ways of the physical world, and consequently provide the theoretical underpinning of technological success and advance.

Then science gains rational precedence as a form of understanding because it provides the theory that furthers technological practice." /> The rationality of science - Lacey Hugh | sdvig press
