Abstract
How should enquiry be conducted? This basic question is faced at some time or other by every scientist—be he natural or social. Here is a formulation of principles of enquiry common to scientists—notions which initiate and guide the course of a line of research—and a grand strategy of enquiry is proposed. It is suggested that this theoretical framework can be used to investigate why scientists have these patterns of enquiry.
