Discussing the implications of a paradigm change in science, Allen et al. (2001) said: “A paradigm change modifies protocols, vocabulary or tacit agreements not to ask certain questions” (p. 480). If we agree with this brilliant definition, and therefore if we accept that a scientific paradigm is “a tacit agreement not to ask certain questions,” the next step is to find out why certain questions are forbidden. In general, the questions that cannot be asked from within a scientific paradigm are those challenging the basic assumptions adopted in the foundations of the relative disciplinary scientific knowledge | MULTI-SCALE INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF AGROECOSYSTEMS 2004 by CRC Press LLC Advances in Agroecology Series Editor Clive Agroecosystem Sustainability Developing Practical Strategies Stephen Agroforestry in Sustainable Agricultural Systems Louise James and Erick Biodiversity in Agroecosystems Wanda Williams Collins and Calvin Interactions Between Agroecosystems and Rural Communities Cornelia Flora Landscape Ecology in Agroecosystems Management Lech Ryszkowski Soil Ecology in Sustainable Agricultural Systems Lijbert Brussaard and Ronald Ferrera-Cerrato Soil Tillage in Agroecosystems Adel El Titi Structure and Function in Agroecosystem Design and Management Masae Shiyomi and Hiroshi Koizumi Tropical Agroecosystems John Advisory Board Editor-in-Chief Clive The Ohio State University Columbus OH Editorial Board Miguel Altieri University of California Berkeley CA Lijbert Brussaard Agricultural University Wageningen The Netherlands David Coleman University of Georgia Athens GA Jr. University of Georgia Athens GA Adel El-Titi Stuttgart Germany Charles University of Nebraska Lincoln NE Stephen University of California Santa Cruz Thurman Grove North Carolina State University Raleigh NC Maurizio Paoletti University of Padova Padova Italy David Pimentel Cornell University Ithaca NY Masae Shiyomi Ibaraki University Mito Japan Sir Colin Berkshire England Moham The Ohio State University Columbus OH 2004 by CRC Press LLC MULTI-SCALE INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF AGROECOSYSTEMS MARIO GIAMPIETRO CRC PRESS Boca Raton London New York Washington . 2004 by CRC Press .
