Excellent- More about Scientific Progress
Cognitive scientific progress is the study of how the mind works and how it can be improved. It is a multidisciplinary field that combines psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and other fields to understand the brain and its functions. The Element provides a critical summary of the key literature on the issue over the past fifteen years and considers meta-normative issues concerning scientific progress, arguing that science does not have overarching aims and that the standards are ultimately subjective.

What constitutes cognitive scientific progress?
This Element begins with an extensive survey of the contemporary debate on how to answer this question. It provides a blow-by-blow critical summary of the key literature on the issue over the past fifteen years, covering the central positions and arguments therein. It also draws upon older literature, where appropriate, to inform the treatment.
The Element then enters novel territory by considering meta-normative issues concerning scientific progress. It focuses on how the standards involved in assessing progress. Does science have aims, which determine what counts as progress, as many authors assume? If so, what is it to be an aim of science? And how does one identify such things? If not, how do normative standards arise?
After arguing that science does not have overarching aims, the Element proposes that the standards are ultimately subjective.
