|Parent Topic=Scope of Scientonomy
|Description=Should a scientonomic theory merely explain how science changes through time, or should it prescribe how science ought to change, or both?
|Formulated Year Formulated=2015
|Author=Hakob Barseghyan,
|Prehistory=One of the reasons why the classic philosophy of science failed to accomplish its task was the vagueness of its position regarding this question. The theories of Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos, and early Laudan can all be considered either as descriptions of how science changes through time and/or prescriptions of how it ought to change.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|pp. 12-21]]
