Copernicus and the Criteria of Choice

Recognizing the criteria of choice can function as values when incomplete as rules has, i think, a number of striking advantages. It accounts in detail for aspects of scientific behavior which the tradition has seen as anomalous or even irrational. Most newly suggested theories do not survive and usually they are accounted for by more traditional means. Even those who have followed me thus far will want to know how a value based enterprise of the sort i have described can develop as a science does. To that question, unfortunately, i have no answer at all. But that is only another way of saying that i make no claim to have solved the problem of induction.
