Between History and Logic
Brendan Larvor
In this paper, I argue that there cannot be a general and comprehensive account of scientific enquiry, for two reasons. The first is that our understanding of scientific enquiry depends on disciplines with incompatible standards of rigour and modes of explanation. I focus on logic and history. The second reason is that the rigour and success of empirical science depends on the particular features of a) domains of enquiry and b) research programmes. Consequently, our understanding of enquiry is more like a wisdom-tradition than a science, to which formal learning theory is a valuable addition.
