"The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies."
Positive
"Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic."
Negative
"If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power."
Faith
"The classical example of a successful research programme is Newton's gravitational theory: possibly the most successful research programme ever."
Success
"Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime."
Planning

History

Creativity
