| Role Of Science In Knowledge Creation: A Philosophy Of Science Perspective (5047 words) |
 | In science, all knowledge claims are tentative, subject to revision on the basis of new evidence. |
| Whereas philosophers located the source of the consensual character of science in the scientist's adherence to the canons of a logic of scientific inference, sociologists argued that science exhibited so high a degree of agreement because scientists shared a set of norms or standards which governed the professional life of the scientific community. |
| Science in general and knowledge in particular are believed to occur in an upward fashion: from data to theory to understanding (Bagozzi, 1984). |
