Study Notes
Kuhn's Epistemology
Paradigm Shift
- A fundamental change in the way scientists think about and approach a particular field of study
- Involves a new way of understanding the world, new concepts, and new methods
- Replaces the existing paradigm, which is no longer able to explain phenomena
- Often occurs in response to anomalies and crisis in the existing paradigm
Normal Science
- The everyday, routine work of scientists within a dominant paradigm
- Characterized by puzzle-solving, experimentation, and data collection
- Scientists work within the established framework, trying to fill in gaps and resolve anomalies
- Normal science is cumulative, with each new discovery building on previous ones
Incommensurability
- The idea that different paradigms are fundamentally incompatible and cannot be directly compared
- Each paradigm has its own unique concepts, methods, and values, making it difficult to translate between them
- Incommensurability leads to a lack of understanding and communication between scientists working in different paradigms
Scientific Revolution
- A period of intense intellectual and social change, marked by the replacement of one paradigm with another
- Characterized by a sense of crisis, conflict, and competition between different paradigms
- Scientific revolutions are rare, but they have a profound impact on the development of science
Anomaly Detection
- The process of identifying and explaining phenomena that cannot be accounted for by the existing paradigm
- Anomalies often lead to a crisis in the existing paradigm, as they challenge its fundamental assumptions
- The detection of anomalies is a key driver of scientific progress, as it leads to the development of new theories and paradigms
