520    Creatively Undecided offers a new way to look at how 
       scientific understandings change. Thomas Kuhn has shown us
       how scientific practice and thinking depends on the 
       normative framework in which it is conducted, but he and 
       his followers have failed to show how such frameworks can 
       be deemed the possible outcomes of the kind of critical 
       assessment that Popper viewed as central to all rational 
       deliberation. How can a scientist subject her standards to
       rational appraisal if that very act requires the use of 
       those standards? The novel way out argued for in the book 
       is to realize that exposure to external normative 
       criticism is capable of destabializing normative 
       commitment to a far greater extent than mere self-
       critique. Therefore, while science can only be transformed
       from within, by people who have standing in the field, 
       criticism from the outside is essential. We may not be 
       able to be sufficiently self-critical on our own, but 
       trusted criticism from outside, even if resisted, can 
       begin to change our perspective-at which point 
       transformative self-criticism becomes a real option. The 
       book's novel thesis, argued for philosophically in the 
       first four chapters comprising Parts I and II, is put to 
       the test of a detailed case study in the history of 
       British mathematics in Part III.
