| Tiivistelmä: | Empirical reports on scientific competition show that scientists can be depicted as self-interested, strategically behaving agents. However, the paper argues that recognition-seeking scientists will have an interest in establishing methodological norms which tend to select theories of a high epistemic value. These norms will be still more stringent if the epistemic value of theories appears in the utility function of scientists, either directly or instrumentally. |
