Abstract

A case study of the development of quantum field theory and of S-matrix theory, from their inceptions to the present, is presented. The descriptions of science given by Kuhn and by Lakatos are compared and contrasted as they apply to this case study. The episodes of the developments of these theories are then considered as candidates for competing research programs in Lakatos' methodology of scientific research programs. Lakatos' scheme provides a reasonable overall description and a plausible assessment of the relative value of these two programs in terms of progressive and degenerating problem shifts. Also discussed are the roles of various types of models as they have been used in these areas of theoretical high-energy physics.

Additional information

During the course of this work I have enjoyed the friendship and advice of Dr. Elie Zahar, of the London School of Economics, and of Dr. Michael Redhead, of Chelsea College. They are, of course, not to be held responsible for, nor associated with, any of the nonsense written above, although any good ideas there may be no doubt originated largely with them. Professor J. W. N. Watkins was kind enough to extend to me the status of an academic visitor at the London School of Economics and Professor T. W. B. Kibble made available to me the facilities of Imperial College of Science and Technology. Preliminary versions of parts of this paper were used as the basis of seminars given at the London School of Economics and at Chelsea College in early 1980. The comments and criticisms of the participants were extremely helpful in clarifying many of my ideas. In addition, Professors Allan Franklin, Kristin Shrader-Frechette, Edward Mac Kinnon, Ernan McMullin, and Hans Plendl provided useful criticisms of the first complete draft of this paper. Finally, I wish to express my appreciation to the University of Notre Dame for a Sabbatical leave during which the major portion of this research was completed.
