Say What???

Ok, so I'm taking this course on ethics and I'm reading this book as part of the class (which hasn't started btw). And I came across this statement.

The epistemological version of ethical skepticism is often motivated by some form of naïve scientism (the view that only what science claims can be known to be true). But apart from the fact that such a claim is self-refuting (how could it be construed as a scientific claim that could be tested), and apart from the fact that science is itself committed to the existence of values (the epistemological value that simple theories are probably correct and the moral value that test results should be reported honestly), some moral principles can be known with more certainty than some scientific claims. (Readings in Christian Ethics Volume 1: Theory and Method – Clark & Rakestraw – p28).

This is going to be an extremely long semester when I have NO IDEA what that says… in English no less.

Can't forget to check what the last day to drop is…
