Revolutionary transformative science

The idea of a preanalytic vision as explaining scientific change was originally proposed by Joseph Schumpeter in his posthumously published History of Economic Analysis. Schumpeter's proposal is put into a broader perspective by comparison with the theories of Neurath and Kuhn and issues in the sociology of science that they all raise. The chapter then turns to clarifying the meaning and role of ideology and the differences that have occurred over time and between different authors - Marx, Engels, Schumpeter and Gramsci. It turns to the critical realist approach termed 'explanatory critique', and the implications this has for social ecological economics and the role of researchers in the transformation of society. The chapter shows how calls for change in economic thought have appealed to concepts of a preanalytic vision and paradigm shift as invoking a revolutionary change and substantive transformation.
