Changes

|Description=The goal of [[scientonomy]] is to give a descriptive account of the process of [[Scientific Change|scientific change]]. Given this goal, it is obvious that it must describe and explain how changes in the [[Scientific Mosaic|mosaic]] of accepted scientific [[Theory|theories]] and employed [[Method|methods]] take place. Any actual instance of scientific change is the result of an appraisal, therefore. Therefore, a theory of scientific change must provide an account of how theories are actually appraised and thereby explain how changes in the mosaic occur. It is not, on the other hand, required to account for the process of theory construction. Scientific creativity and theory construction have typically been regarded as questions of psychology and sociology. [[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 29]]
