Changes

|Description=There are at least three different sorts of questions concerning the process of scientific change; historical questions, theoretical questions, and methodological questions[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 12]]. Historical questions deal with actual courses of events such as what theories were accepted and what methods were employed at a particular time. Theoretical questions deal with such matters as the mechanisms of theory and method change. These are both sorts of descriptive questions. Methodological questions deal with normative matters such as what methods ought to be employed and what theories ought to be accepted. The question at issue is which of these sorts of questions ought to fall within the scope of scientonomy, and which should not.
