“…Again in physics, several fascinating cases occurring in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s have recently been brought to light, including Fourier transform spectroscopy and liquid scintillation devices (Johnston, 2001;Rheinberger, 2001). In chemistry there is the electron capture detector, and in the sphere of biology an instance of research-technology has been identified in plant genetics (Morris, forthcoming;Nevers et al, 2001). Anti lock braking and laser-linked spectroscopy are examples of research-technology in engineering (Johnson, 2001;Mallard, 2001).…”

“…Similarly, Knorr-Cetina (2007) employs the notion of "epistemic cultures" emphasizing the role of practices within cultures. Meanwhile, Nevers et al (2001) choose to develop the notion of "types of research" which are formed by the prevailing organizational structures and processes as well as the practice of research and the interpretational framework in which they are embedded. These notions clearly overlap with each other and authors often recognize it.…”

Styles of Thought on the Continental Drift Debate

The continental drift controversy has been deeply analysed in terms of rationalist notions, which seem to find there a unique topic to describe the weight of evidence for reaching consensus. In that sense, many authors suggest that Alfred Wegener's theory of the original supercontinent Pangea and the subsequent continental displacements finally reached a consensus when irrefutable evidence became available. Therefore, rationalist approaches suggest that evidence can be enough by itself to close scientific controversies. In this article I analyse continental drift debates from a different perspective which is based on styles of thought. I'll argue that continental drift debate took much longer than it was usually recognized with two styles of thought coexisting for hundreds of years. These were fixism and mobilism and they were always confronting their own evidence and interpretations and functioning as general frameworks for the acceptability of a specific theory. Therefore, this text aims to bring much broader sociological elements than usually involved in the analysis of the continental drift theory.
