|Question=What is the role of '''sociocultural factors''', such as economics or politics, in the process of ''theory acceptance''?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=The question of the role of the so-called sociocultural factors has been one of the most troublesome questions for the classic philosophers of science. Can social, political, and economic factor influence the process of theory acceptance and method employment? Do factors such as individual and collective interests influence the process of scientific change or, alternatively, is the process of scientific change only affected by intellectual factors?
