Longino HE: Science as Social Knowledge: Values and Objectivity in Scientific Inquiry. Laudan L: Progress and its Problems: Toward a Theory of Scientific Growth. In addition to the actual growth of science and scientific activity, there has been much effort to show that such progress benefits the economy through a line of investigation tying basic research to patents production. Progress and its problems: Toward a theory of scientific growth. Like moving taxes on work towards taxes on raw materials and fossile fuels in particular. Results: migration towards USA. Most importantly, Laudan implicitly assumes that we can't specify a standard for measuring scientific progress (say, truth) if we have no epistemic access to evidence that would allow evaluation of how far science has progressed towards that standard. It is not the raw material used in the formation of practice and theory, it is inevitably the result of it. Progress and Its Problems: Toward a Theory of Scientific Growth. I do think Laudan at least makes a good case that the rationality of scientists accepting a theory can be understood in terms of how effective the theory is at solving the problems the scientists are concerned with. Berkeley: University of California Press; 1977. Simultaneous timing of multiple intervals: Implications for the scalar property. An explicit model of knowledge production that converts human, financial, and knowledge capital into resources (e.g., open problems, skills), which are then transformed into solutions and products. Berkeley: University of California Press. But growth of the eye also depends heavily on external cues — what scientists call visual feedback. Although coarse-grain system dynamics models were used in the past to predict the growth and development of scientific research, among the limitations of their use include (1) lack of heterogeneity in terms of individuals' decisions, actions, career choices, as well as learning and . Now it is the turn of climate The problem with climate science, however, is that its vision of the problem has gradually become more and more dramatic.

Studies of resource depletion, such as "The Limits to Growth" of 1972 were attacked and demonized in the 1980s, and then consigned to the dustbin of "wrong" scientific ideas.
