Larsson et al./Building Blocks, 2. Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Göran Larsson’s chapter, which pro- vides an overview and assessment of how Taves’ and Asprem’s theoreti- cal and methodological suggestions have been received by the academic community. The aim of Larsson’s chapter is to help the reader who is encountering the BBA for the first time to assess the pros and cons that have been identified by other researchers. Furthermore, Larsson aims to show how difficult it is to bridge the gaps that exist between different philosophies of science in academia and why it is so difficult to achieve conciliation.
