Changes

The TSC seeks to account for the process of scientific change during all historical time periods within which a corpus of accepted scientific beliefs existed. It seeks to account for this entire corpus of beliefs. The TSC defines "science" broadly. For example, during the medieval and early modern period, propositions about the natural world, and about theological matters were considered part of the same system of beliefs. For those time periods, the TSC takes theological beliefs to be within its purview (Barseghyan, 2015, p. 61-72).
