Abstract
This article discusses the motivation for the shift from GB theory to the Minimalist Program. It explores notions of economy and conceptual naturalness in linguistics and the physical sciences — in particular, symmetries across levels of analysis. As an example of such symmetries, it proposes a new analysis for some Principle C effects. It concludes with some observations on the conduct of science.
