Margaret Masterman, "The Nature of a Paradigm", _Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge_ (1970):
"This pre-scientific and philosophic state of affairs sharply contrasts, however, with _multi-paradigm science_, with that state of affairs in which, far from there being no paradigm, there are on the contrary too many. (This is the present overall situation in the psychological, social and information sciences.) ... each sub-field as defined by its technique is so obviously more trivial and narrow than the field as defined by intuition, and also the various operational definitions given by the techniques are so grossly discordant with one another, that discussion on fundamentals remains, and long-run progress (as opposed to local progress) fails to occur."
