Social environment, foundations of science, and the possible histories of science
pp. 129-137
Abstract
Relatively stable bases may be outlined in the system of our scientific knowledge of physics as a branch of science. These bases determine the strategy of scientific investigation and generalize the experimental results. The most important components of such bases are: (1) ideals and norms of science; and (2) the pattern of the reality under investigation.
