He argues that these 'theories' are actually significantly different entities, and warns that the traditional goal of philosophy to make substantial, general claims about how science works is misguided.

spelling	Vickers, Peter. Understanding inconsistent science / Peter Vickers. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2013. 1 online resource (xi, 273 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-268) and index. Print version record. Peter Vickers examines 'inconsistent theories' in the history of science - theories which, though contradictory, are held to be extremely useful. He argues that these 'theories' are actually significantly different entities, and warns that the traditional goal of philosophy to make substantial, general claims about how science works is misguided.
