Abstract

[This chapter raises fundamental problems with the idea that disciplinesdisciplines comprise our key epistemic categories. It argues that knowledge is comprised of our best theoriestheory at any given time and their relationship to disciplines is complex. However disciplines do provide a social context for the development and appraisal of theoriestheory. However, they are also distinguished by power structures which make any straightforward appraisal of what may constitute our best theoriestheory more difficult.]
