Margaret Masterman, "The Nature of a Paradigm" (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. This state of affairs is brought to an
end when someone invents a deeper, though cruder paradigm ..."
