Under what conditions is a group of scientists rational? How would rational scientists collectively agree to make their group more effective?

These questions have been central to the philosophy of science for the last two decades. In this book, Husain Sarkar proposes answers to them by building on classical solutions - the skeptical view, two versions of the subjectivist view, the objectivist view, and the view of Hilary Putnam.
