AB - Ever since Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, many philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science have attacked the distinction between discovery and justification. For several decades, the distinction dictated what philosophy of science should be and how it should proceed. But the distinction did come under attack in the 1960s and 1970s, and many philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science went into disputes about the distinction. Among others, Strong Programme in social constructivism have delivered an attack against the distinction.
The aim of this paper is to examine the view of Strong Programme on the distinction critically. First, I shall distinguish several versions of the context distinction, based on discussion of Hoyningen about it. Then, I will pick out the minimal version of the distinction. Actually, I do believe that this minimal version of the distinction has never been attacked in the discussion about it. Secondly, I will introduce the Strong Programme's objections against the distinction, and indicate the general problems of them. Finally, I maintain that the minimal version of the distinction has in fact survive the attacks of the Strong Programme. Consequently, I maintain that the Strong Programme was a failure as one of objections against the distinction.
