by Hull, David L.

Johann Peter Murmann: Thomas Kuhn’s “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” is the most widely read and cited book in the philosophy and sociology of science. If you want an philosophical foundation for an evolutionary view, this is the book you should read and not Kuhn. Hull delivers not only a philosophical foundation for evolutionary theories in the social sciences, but he also provides a wonderful case study of how a school of thought in the world of biological taxonomy won the competition among alternative approaches.

Science as a Process
Excerpts of Reviews

Description from The Reader’s Catalog
“In Science as a Process, [David Hull] argues that the tension between cooperation and competition is exactly what makes science so successful….Hull takes an unusual approach to his subject. He applies the rules of evolution in nature to the evolution of science, arguing that the same kinds of forces responsible for shaping the rise and demise of species also act on the development of scientific ideas.” –– Natalie Angier
