Abstract
Overr
the past few years, many voices have claimed that PCP should enter into the
mainstream of cognitivism. This paper identifies, at least, three planes
involved in this debate: political, historical and epistemological. The problem
of where one theory ends and another one begins is examined particularly from
the epistemological perspective. Theoretical identity, according to this perspective,
is dealt with not merely as being a part of one particular community, but as a
way of experience.
Keywords:
theoretical identity, epistemology, research programme, personal constructs
psychology, cognitivism
