History and the Norms of Science

PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1980:236 - 248 (1980)
Abstract Starting from the assumption that the history of science is, in some significant sense, rational and thus that historical episodes may serve as evidence in choosing between competing normative methodologies of science, the question arises: "Just what is this history-methodology evidential relation?" After examining the proposals of Laudan, a more plausible account is proposed.
