The Narrative of Science

Lakatosh: The narrative of science has normative elements that you want to believe. It's a story which does not accord with what actually happened, he says. He criticizes coon for the idea that you shift paradimes when enough people say 'oh wait, i don't believe the old one any more' I think it amounts to saying that if you're gin to define rationality the way it was defined by the justificationists, then you're doomed to have no such thing as rationality," writes Lakatosh.
