Cognitive Relativism in Evaluation.
Alexander, H. A.
Evaluation Review, v10 n3 p259-80 Jun 1986
A group of defenses of qualitative evaluation methods is examined, based on a hard relativistic interpretation of the work of Thomas Kuhn. A promising defense of qualitative evaluation may be found in a soft-relativist interpretation of Kuhn's analysis of the nature of scientific discovery. (Author/LMO)
