Abstract
The main conclusion of chapter III was that Lakatos’s theory is conceptually adequate for the case of nmr; in chapter IV the theory’s explanatory failure for the case of nmr was shown; and chapter V subsequently revealed how the correct explanation of the development of the nmr programme should run. The present chapter intends to bring the line of analysis of these three chapters to completion, by presenting a general model of scientific development that can incorporate my interpretation of the case of nmr, while at the same time placing that interpretation in a broader theoretical and empirical framework.
