"Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime."

Planning

"There is no falsification before the emergence of a better theory."

Theory

"Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind."

History

"The classical example of a successful research programme is Newton's gravitational theory: possibly the most successful research programme ever."

Success

"Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge."

Power

Positive

Creativity

Negative
