Important concepts:

Kuhn: normal science, crisis, paradigm, translation and inconmensurability of theories, expert judgement, psychology/sociology of science, anomaly, scientific community (p. 253), theory choice criteria (261): accuracy, scope, simplicity, fruitfulness...

Masterman: paradigm as puzzle-solving device, not worldview

Lakatos: justificationism, research programme, protective belt, positive/negative heuristic, ad hoc [1,2,3] observational theory, rational reconstruction, progressive/degenerating problemshifts, dogmatic/naive/sophisticated falsificationism, third world

Also extremely interesting the account of the Michelson series of experiments re. luminiferous aether.

Feyerabend: Anything goes
