Thomas Kuhn argued that scientific progress is not simply the accumulation of knowledge, but rather paradigm shifts. New paradigms complement or replace existing theories, and similar shifts occur not only in science, but also in many other fields, such as society and the arts.   Science used to be understood as a process of accumulating facts, but Thomas Kuhn went beyond this traditional...

Thomas Kuhn’s concept of paradigms can be applied not only to science, but also to social sciences, economics, psychology, and many other fields, and paradigm shifts are characterized by short-lived revolutions. We must prepare for the emergence of a new paradigm by waiting for counterexamples to accumulate against the current paradigm.   Thomas Kuhn introduced the concept of paradigms...

  Thomas Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions emphasizes that scientific progress is not simply the accumulation of knowledge, but revolutionary change through paradigm shifts. This theory has influenced not only science, but also social sciences, economics, and other fields, and has led to a rethinking of the direction of modern scientific research.   New perspectives on...

In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn argues that scientific progress is driven by abrupt paradigm shifts rather than gradual accumulation. Research based on a particular paradigm is “normal science,” and when the accumulation of anomalies breaks down the existing paradigm, a new paradigm emerges and a scientific revolution occurs.   Before the invention of the automobile...

This article uses Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions to reflect on how normal science and paradigms determine the direction of scientific and academic research, and how they affect the puzzles faced by researchers and their motivation.   I found it an interesting read. It gave me a chance to reflect on some of the psychological backgrounds that I’ve been lost...

Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions argues that scientific knowledge is not simply accumulated, but revolutionized through paradigm shifts. Kuhn’s theory has been controversial from both a positivist and relativist perspective and has led to a new debate in the philosophy of science about the search for truth.   Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific...

Criticize Kuhn’s paradigm theory and explain the continuity and interdependence of scientific knowledge. Dr. Perelman’s solution of the Poincaré conjecture highlights the close connection between scientific knowledge.   In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn proposes that scientific theories are not continuous and do not develop gradually, and that their direction is...

I read the book ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions’ by Thomas Kuhn and wrote a book review. Let’s find out what a paradigm is.   Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions occupies an important place in the history of the philosophy of science, and his theories have sparked much debate. People in each camp of the debate have such different...

Read Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions to understand why rational science develops irrationally.   Since the modern era, science has gained unbounded human trust. The epistemological justification that science is certain truth, along with the material abundance it promised, reinforced faith in it. The development of science and philosophical explanations of the...
