Theories and sociology of the history of science - The sociology and philosophy of science, as well as the entire field of science studies, have in the 20th century been preoccupied with the question of large-scale patterns and trends in the development of science, and asking questions about how science "works" both in a philosophical and practical sense.

The classical observationalist-inductivist account of science - The classical observationalist-inductivist account of science is essentially derived from the view of science where new knowledge is the result of past observations and any knowledge derived thereof is purely inductive. Therefore, it is fallible in the sense that it is not capable of understanding new possibilities unless they have been observed.

James Burke (science historian) - James Burke (born November 22, 1936) is a British science historian, author and television producer best known for his documentary television series focusing on the history of science and technology leavened with a sense of humor.
