Abstract

• Entrepreneurship's pluralism reflects fidelity to phenomena resisting formalization, not a pathology. • Post-Kuhnian philosophy shows paradigmatic convergence is not the sole path to scientific progress. • Entrepreneurship has produced distinctive theoretical innovations now diffused across adjacent fields. • The field's self-reflexive scrutiny of its own service ecosystem signals maturity, not dysfunction. • A field studying emergence under irreducible uncertainty should expect pluralism, not apologize for it.
