We're in the midst of a crisis of science in which both quantitative and qualitative forms of analysis have increasingly been called into question. Can a new type of qualitative analysis be fashioned to address some of these cristisms? Might this new form ever be realized? A frank discussion of opportunities - and pitfalls - of modest reform.
