Wonderful video. The ideas of some philosophers go unrecognized and unappreciated because no one reads their work or cares; Kuhn is a philosopher whose ideas go unrecognized and unappreciated because no one reads his work and everyone wrongly assumes they knew what he meant! Always a fan of videos that help clarify misconceptions.
I found reference to the re-canting of the pre-paradigm stage. In Ian Hacking's essay introduction to the 50th anniversary copy of 'Revolutions' - he notes in XXV how later footnotes by Kuhn (around 1977) explain his regret at using the term, and that it may not necessarily be the case; as precursory to a 'paradigmatic' way of operating by scientists.
one notable exception might be Max Planck, as he was quite old when discovered black body radiation, and his proposal was a shift from classical physics. Planck embraced the quantum revolution despite being trained in the classical paradigm for a long time. Maybe the paradigm shift is as internal as it is external.
My first viewing of a video of your channel. Certainly not the last one, as your presentation is utterly interesting to me as a non scientific mind. I will certainly listen to your serie around science knowledge process, and then have a look at your presocratic philosophers presentation. Very good and limpid work from such a young man !
I love the way you delineate this concepts in philosophy and science, please can you talk about the idea of Authentic humanism in Gabriel Marcel's philosophy? Thanks.
Good to learn about Hoyle. So interesting. I recently heard here on you tube a theoretical physicist explaining how some einstein's equations show that a 'big bang' never occourred.
Thank you for this. I believe that there is some evidence that Kuhn later re-canted the idea of 'pre-paradigmatic' stage. This would be worth examining perhaps?
What happens when those who've embraced hegel and the dialectics (which are extremely useful) are so interacted with the thesis and antithesis that they ignore the synthesis that's taken place? Their beliefs become nonsensical dogmas. Dogmas of a cultist within a cult. We've seen just that with the woke cult (a kind of Hegelian cultism/religion).
Great work, as usual. I would also recommend the Introduction (about 50 pages or so) of Michael Cremo's "Forbidden Archeology", where he explores this process of what he calls "knowledge filtration", within the sciences, much like what you describe of Kuhn's theory; where anomalous findings, which do not easily fit into the paradigm, are omitted or explained away by a thousand convenient possibilities, and the full facts get buried in original source materials, while academics mostly cite contemporaries and near-contemporaries, and don't even know these things.

your channel can save young scientists from reading Kuhn’s book, without loosing the core concepts. Many thanks 😊

a very interesting video. Thank you so much
Great content. Wonderfully explained. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! I've been planning to read this for forever and this vid will definitely help me navigate it
My pleasure PhilosophyToons! Glad to give you a taster!
I love the way you delineate this concepts in philosophy and science, please can you talk about the idea of Authentic humanism in Gabriel Marcel's philosophy? Thanks.
Glad you enjoy it Anyanwu! I've never heard of that idea before but it sounds really interesting I shall have a poke into it and see what I uncover!

An Excellent Review!
Thank you. Am loving this.
Delighted to hear it Sandy!
James, next lesson is waiting for you in your mailbox (2 letters). Cheers! (In my last Russian book Kuhn lives in the Chapter 125 - long way ahead) JF

Fascinating. Must check that out becuase that's the usual state outside of science so I'd be real curious to see what he has to say
Wow, Hegel has long arms.

Awesome content- thanks!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Sound quality is good
Thanks Danny! The hard work is paying off!
Das beste sound is no sound
This feels a lot like Hegel: thesis, antithesis, synthesis
Am really trying to concentrate, but have one question, are you from Belfast?
No Sandy other side of the island - a city called Limerick
Very interesting
Thanks Z.A.!

Fascinating Valkin I've never heard if Cremo before. Sounds like a great complement to Kuhn's work
This is nutrition science today
His ideas are very similar to Feyerabend's

Relativism is wrong.
OK 😂
