This is where the introduction will go. We would suggest writing this last, as it will be concise condensation of the main points associated with your chosen philosopher/scientist. It should be no longer than 5 sentences. The point of this section is to function as a hook, so those doing research on scientific change can tell whether or not this philosopher is relevant to said their research at first a glance.
== Historical Context ==
In this section, briefly describe the intellectual atmosphere that your philosopher came up in. Useful information would be a succinct mentioning of You should discuss the prevailing philosophical views of scientific change at the time your thinker formulated their views, or any biographical information specifically relevant to the construction of their main philosophical ideas on scientific change. Remember, the Wiki is meant to function as a philosophical encyclopedia, not a historical one. There is no need to include any information that is superfluous or minimally relevant to your thinker’s particular ideas on scientific change. Also, at this point, do not mention other philosophers’ philosophical programs purely for the sake of comparison. The main goal of this section is to contextualize set the foundational ideas that you detail in the next sectioninto proper context. Ideally, this This section will be collapsed when a viewer enters on the Wiki page, and thus the information in here . They will only be seen see it if they choose to expand it.]
== Main Contributions to the Philosophy of Scientific Change ==
This should be the largest and most important section will make up the bulk of the article. Here you will describe the most renowned important philosophical ideas on scientific change attributable to developed by your thinker. It is most likely that your thinker had viewpoints on multiple aspects of scientific change (or in some cases, they may have even changes to changed their initial views made later in their career). As such, it will be up to your discretion to break this section up to into subsections. When categorizing elements of your thinker’s philosophy into subsections, try to use a problem-based approach. For example:
=== Popper on Demarcation ===
The views of [[Karl Popper]] on Demarcation
====Popper and pseudoscience ====
====Marx and Freud=====
=== Feyerabend on the Changeability of Method ===
=== Philosopher X on problem Y ===
etc.
Note that you can create different levels of subsections by using different number of equals signs.
The main goal of this section is to get a fully unadulterated presentation of your philosopher’s fundamental contributions to the discourse on scientific change. Refrain from instigating a dialogue between your chosen philosopher and another thinker with contrary views. Also avoid going into detail about how your philosopher’s ideas were later built upon by other thinkers. There will be room to make mention of these things in the next section (see below).
