Anarchy of Sciences

The "Anarchy of Sciences" is a concept proposed by philosopher Gaston Bachelard, suggesting that scientific disciplines evolve independently, each with its own methods and theories, rather than following a single, unified approach. This independence means that sciences develop on their own terms, sometimes overlapping or diverging from each other. Recognizing this helps us understand that scientific progress isn’t solely linear or hierarchical, but a diverse and dynamic process where different fields grow and adapt according to their unique perspectives and challenges.
