A theory which lacks coherence is not respected. Coherence is desired within the paradigm which dominates professional scientists. External coherence with ideals outside the paradigm is not a matter of great concern. Usually only scientific integrity is sought; i.e., coherence within the intellectual paradigm. There are intellectuals who are not scientists. To an extent they seek intellectual consistency within their paradigm, but their kind of internal consistency is not so logically defined and demanding as is that of the scientists. The tragedy is that there are few people who have internalized the ideal of seeking integrity which binds together into a coherent whole---the paradigms of scientists and the non-scientific intellectuals. There are people who enjoy affective integrity quite apart from the integrity of the scientists and non- scientific intellectuals. People with affective integrity do not intentionally depend upon people with intellectual integrity for means to affective integrity. Each kind of integrity attempts to survive in its own way. Tragedies occur when people with one kind of integrity as their ideal---behave in exclusive ways which deny the value of another kind of integrity. People who so deny the value of another kind of integrity---thereby undermine their own overall integrity. Such denials are part of the reason that a crisis in science education has developed as scientists have implicitly and overtly denied the value of non-scientific and non-instrumental ideals. The crisis will not be resolved through dedication to exclusively scientific and instrumental ideals. It will be resolved only through cooperative dedication to comprehensive integrity for individuals and communities seeking to transcend the exclusivities of their respective specialized paradigms.
