The Art of Great Science.
Rigden, John S.
Phi Delta Kappan, v64 n9 p613-17 May 1983
Great science is more akin to great art than to mechanical routine. But the common view of science teachers and textbooks ignores science as quest and suggests any problem can be solved by application of scientific method. Revolutionary structures are products of creative insight, not of logically inevitable scientific progress. (PB)
