26. Kuhn's Structure Of Scientific Revolutions
    Crucial chapter from kuhn's famous book outlining how sciences is forced to go through a paradigmshift, and see the world in terms of a new theory and new concepts thomas kuhn (1962) The Structure of Scientific Revolutions  
    http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/us/kuhn.htm
    
    Extractions: Thomas Kuhn (1962) Source The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) publ. University of Chicago Press, 1962. One chapter plus one postscript reproduced here. These remarks permit us at last to consider the problems that provide this essay with its title. What are scientific revolutions, and what is their function in scientific development? Much of the answer to these questions has been anticipated in earlier sections. In particular, the preceding discussion has indicated that scientific revolutions are here taken to be those non-cumulative developmental episodes in which an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one. There is more to be said, however, and an essential part of it can be introduced by asking one further question. Why should a change of paradigm be called a revolution? In the face of the vast and essential differences between political and scientific development, what parallelism can justify the metaphor that finds revolutions in both? political recourse fails To discover why this issue of paradigm choice can never be unequivocally settled by logic and experiment alone, we must shortly examine the nature of the differences that separate the proponents of a traditional paradigm from their revolutionary successors. That examination is the principal object of this section and the next. We have, however, already noted numerous examples of such differences, and no one will doubt that history can supply many others. What is more likely to be doubted than their existence - and what must therefore be considered first - is that such examples provide essential information about the nature of science. Granting that paradigm rejection has been a historic fact, does it illuminate more than human credulity and confusion? Are there intrinsic reasons why the assimilation of either a new sort of phenomenon or a new scientific theory must demand the rejection of an older paradigm?

    Extractions: Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922) was educated at Harvard as a physicist. He has been Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1983. Although he has done theoretical work in physics, his reputation is as a historian and philosopher of science whose most influential work is The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Kuhn's importance to the practice of literary criticism is tangential but of genuine interest and significance. For the most part, he is invoked in literary contexts in connection with the term "paradigm," a term he, in turn, borrowed from linguistics and prosody. In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions he defined "paradigms" as "accepted examples of actual scientific practiceexamples which include law, theory, application, and instrumentation together[that] provide models from which spring particular coherent traditions of scientific research" (10). The essence of his argumenta highly radical and controversial one within the history of scienceis that the natural sciences are typically governed by such a paradigm for lengthy periods and that scientific development tends to be a sudden global theoretical and intellectual change, which he calls a "paradigm shift." Examples of such shifts are the changes that followed such paradigmatic achievements as Aristotle's Physica

28. Thomas Kuhn's Theory Of Scientific Revolutions

    http://www.horuspublications.com/guide/cm106.html
    
    Extractions: of Scientific Revolutions Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions has been by far the most important and influential theory of the history of science since its publication in 1962. Kuhn's theory wholly revised the framework of debate among professional historians of science. It displaced, even if it did not immediately vanquish, the positivistic interpretation of science as the basic understanding of science. It destroyed the philosophy of science as a valid scholarly undertaking. It opened pathways for historians to utilize the work of anthropologists and sociologists in studying the history of science. It provided a suite of critical methodologies for historians to challenge scientists' own accounts of their work. Kuhn distinguished between two kinds of science - normal science and crisis (or revolutionary) science. Normal science is science pursued by a community of scientists who share a paradigm. Revolutionary science is not. A paradigm is a consensus among a community of practicing scientists about certain concrete solutions - called "exemplars" - to central problems of their field. Their consensus is based on commitment to the paradigm. The commitment is derived from their training and their values; it is not the result of critical testing of the paradigm. Normal science is intellectually isolated from "outside" influences, including the paradigms of other scientific fields and nonscientific events and values. Commitment to their paradigm gives a powerful "normality" to the paradigm, enabling scientists to disregard phenomena that appear to contradict it-"anomalies."

The enormous impact of Kuhn's work can be measured in the revolution it brought about even in the vocabulary of the history of science: besides "paradigm shifts," Kuhn raised the word " paradigm " itself from a linguists ' term to its current broader meaning, coined the term

    Extractions: Thomas S. Kuhn, the Culture War and the Idea of Secession by Steven Yates I. It wasn’t always like this. Our Declaration of Independence was, after all, a declaration of secession from the British Empire. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal status to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to that separation." This couldn’t be clearer. Our country resulted from a secession. Moreover, the new republic, once established, was hardly as stable, initially, as today’s history books suggest. Secession was threatened a number of times during its first 70 years by states or groups of states both Northern and Southern on various pretexts. Of course, the War for Southern Independence changed everything. Not only was secession never again threatened, but those pre-War threats were purged from the history books. They can be found today only in independently published and distributed works such as that of the Kennedy brothers’ The South Was Right II.

    Extractions: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Daniel P. Moloney Hailed by the poststructuralist left, wielded by feminists and fundamentalists alike, and hated by most practitioners of the field it purports to explain, Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is perhaps the single most important work on the nature of rationality since Descartes’ Meditations To support this assertion, a little background. In the years immediately following World War II, most philosophers of science were logical positivists who believed that science involved two stages: first empirical research, then logical analysis of the results. Experimental science provided the raw data, while philosophers analyzed that data and clarified the theories used to explain it. Any statement that could not be verified by science—"The universe has a first cause" or "God is infinitely wise," for example—these philosophers considered meaningless. Only by rigorous conceptual analysis and the rooting out of all unverifiable statements could scientists achieve certainty. In the late 1940s, Kuhn, then a doctoral student in physics at Harvard, was asked to teach a course introducing nonscientists to the practices of science. As he later wrote, "To my complete surprise, that exposure to out–of–date scientific theory and practice radically undermined some of my basic conceptions about the nature of science and the reasons for its special success." As a result, Kuhn turned his attention to the history of scientific revolutions—those times when one widely held scientific theory is challenged on a fundamental level by another and eventually replaced. The best–known revolutions are associated with Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein in physics, but equally fundamental revolutions occurred with Lavoisier in chemistry, Maxwell in electromagnetism, and Planck in atomic theory, among others. Kuhn’s studies revealed that at the time these revolutionary theories were proposed, there was no rational way to determine which theory was correct.

    Extractions: Revised September 1994 Provided by the NASA Headquarters Library The modern study of paradigms began in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn in 1962 and has been continued in the books and videos of Joel Barker. A paradigm, according to Barker, is theory or dogma that establishes boundaries and regulations. Paradigms filter data and, as a result, often prevent anticipating new developments that come from outside the paradigm. "What today is impossible to do in your business, but if it could be done would fundamentally change what you do?" asks Joel Barker. This is crucial to understand because of Barker's "going back to Zero Rule": When a paradigm shifts everyone goes back to zero, your past success guarantees nothing. The Swiss invented the quartz movement watch, yet their paradigm for what a watch should be caused them to reject the new design. As a result, their market share fell from 80% in 1968 to less than 10% today. Their past success blinded them to the future of watch-making. Barker's books and videos explore many examples of the paradigm effect, including the airplane, telephone, radio, and xerox machine. These ideas were developed by people who were open to new concepts and new ways of looking at the world. As Joel Barker says in the conclusion to his video

    Extractions: ...the search for assumptions (even for non-existent ones) can be an effective way to weaken the grip of a tradition upon the mind and to suggest the basis for a new one. (p. 88) The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a book that is so frequently quoted and referenced that I felt I had to read it to find out for myself what made this work so famous (or infamous as the case may be). There are already a host of summaries available on the internet so I'll try not to merely regurgitate what others have said and, more or less, correctly summarized. The basic premise is summed up by Kuhn himself in the quote below After the first few dozen pages, I had the impression that Kuhn may be anti-science, but the book seems to wax and wane between pro and anti-scientific sentiments. In the end Kuhn admits that he is "a convinced believer in scientific progress". (p. 206) Despite this and other admissions in the text, it isn't difficult to see (for instance by reading p. 126-7 in a vacuum) how post-modernists and those with a religious agenda can (and do) misuse Kuhn to further their agenda.

"A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success." Nicholas Wade, Science "Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery." William Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review "Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . .

    Extractions: Paper $18.00 0-226-45799-0 Fall 2002 Thomas Kuhn will undoubtedly be remembered primarily for The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , a book that introduced one of the most influential conceptions of scientific progress to emerge during the twentieth century. The Road Since Structure , assembled with Kuhn's input before his death in 1996, follows the development of his thought through the later years of his life: collected here are several essays extending and rethinking the perspectives of Structure as well as an extensive, fascinating autobiographical interview in which Kuhn discusses the course of his life and philosophy. "The essays fall into three groups, each arranged chronologically. The first shows the development of Kuhn's thought from 1980 through 1990, the second consists of his responses to criticisms of other philosophers, the last is a candid, highly interesting and informative interview Kuhn did a year before his death. . . . His work is central to the question of the relation of science and culture." Library Journal "It's sometimes claimed that Kuhn toned down his radical views after Structure , but this is a mistake. He did occasionally repudiate earlier ideas, but the bulk of his later work is a significant articulation and defense of his fundamental views, not a retraction. . . .
