In 1970 Imre Lakatos asked the following question concerning the replacement of one competing scientific research program by another: “Can there be any objective (as opposed to socio-psychological) reason to reject a programme, that is, to eliminate its hard core and its programme for constructing protective belts?” (1970, p. 155). While his answer in rough outline was that such an objective reason is provided by a rival research program which both explains the previous successes of the other program and also offers greater heuristic power (p. 155), the question serves as a reminder of the ways in which the psychology of discovery, theory construction and the every day practice of experimental science thrives within a complex mixture of knowledge claims and values, as well as political and economic pressures. As Stephen Toulmin has so pointedly argued, scientists simply do no engage in science as disembodied knowers (1980, pp. 18-35).
