Changes

By the 1980's most authors agreed that the methods of science had changed over time, and that a theory of scientific change needed to account for both theory change and method change.[[CiteRef::Shapere (1980)]][[CiteRef::Laudan (1984a)]][[CiteRef::McMullin (1988)]] This recognition made it clear that the question of a descriptive account of science's changing methods is a different one from the question of what method science should use. Barseghyan argued that, as a science, scientonomy can deal only with descriptive questions concerning the history and theory of scientific change, leaving normative methodology as a separate field of inquiry.
