Methodology
Revision as of 03:16, 3 August 2016 by Hakob Barseghyan (talk | contribs)
Methodology is a set of explicitly formulated rules of theory assessment. Openly professed methodologies consist of normative propositions that prescribe how theories ought to be assessed. Among the most famous examples of methodologies are the inductivist-empiricist methodology of Locke and Newton, the probabilist methodology of logical positivism, Popper's falsificationism, Lakatos's methodology of scientific research programmes, and the early Laudan's pragmatist methodology. Importantly, methodologies should not be confused with the actual implicit expectation of a community, i.e. from methods.
