* How do sociocultural factors affect method employment?
* Do factors such as individual and collective interests influence the process of scientific change? If so, does this happen in violation of the laws of science change?
• The Contextual Appraisal Theorem defines “historical context” as “scientific historical context” (i.e, the scientific mosaic at time t). When discussing the influence of socio-cultural factors on the mosaic, however, we shift to a conception of “historical context” which includes non-scientific socio-cultural phenomenon. Should the idea of “historical context” be consistent through the TSC, and if so, how should we define it? Will this alter the Contextual Appraisal Theorem? (Stephen Watt, 2016)
