“You know what I wonder about? This - the more details of Sven-Göran Eriksson's love life that appear in the press, the more contempt he attracts for his choice of substitutes in England games.

“The rationale for accepting or rejecting any theory is thus fundamentally based on the idea of problem-solving progress. If one research tradition has solved more important problems than its rivals, then accepting that tradition is rational precisely to the degree that we are aiming to "progress," i.e., to maximize the scope f solved problems. In other words, the choice of one tradition over its rivals is a progressive (and thus a rational) choice precisely to the extent that the chosen tradition is a better problem solver than its rivals.” IfsImportantIdeasProblemScienceChoicesAcceptingProgressTheoryDegreesResearchTraditionChosenRationalOver ItProgressiveProblem SolvingRationalityScopeRivalsRejectingRationaleProblem SolversSolved Problems Book:Progress and Its Problems: Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth Source: Progress and Its Problems: Towards a Theory of Scientific Growth

“I was a lousy academic. I spent most of my time in the cafeteria. But I met fantastic people from all kinds of fields; law, medicine, history, and they eventually dispersed all over the world to do their fieldwork.

They were lifestyle choices that had traditions of fieldwork built into them - moving around, living on location, discipline, a real rigor for research.” PeopleWorldWayYearsKindLongRealMovingLawChoicesNextTermFieldsDisciplineMetsTenProjectsResearchCommitmentBuiltTraditionSeasonsMedicineCommittedLifestyleAll KindsFantasticLong TermMy TimeSincereAcademicLocationVisionariesLiving OnRigorCafeteriaLifestyle ChoicesFieldwork Author:Aleksandra Mir
