What are the aspects that make it so scientifically fruitful? This article is devoted to exploring these questions. We begin by discussing Curie's original 1894 article. Then, we consider the way that the discussion of the principle took shape from early commentators to its modern form. We say why we think that the modern focus on the interstate version of the principle loses sight of some of the most significant applications of the principle. Finally, we address criticisms of the principle put forward by John Norton and Bryan Roberts. 2016-12 Article Which Curie’s Principle? 2016, 83 (5):1002 Philosophy of Science 0031-8248 1539-767X 10.1086/687933 http://hdl.handle.net/10150/625244 http://arizona.openrepository.com/arizona/handle/10150/625244 Philosophy of Science en http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/687933 Copyright © 2016 by the Philosophy of Science Association.
