also, Kuhn was responding more to Popper Austin and Wittgenstein, who had already dealt fatal blows to logical positivism by the time Kuh n was working.
Hi, are you planning on making any videos on Foundationalism, Coherentism and 'The Myth of the Given'?
There is a post-modern reading you can do of science. It seems like you can read Kuhn's paradigm theory as being an explanation of how scientific progress occurs, and therefore interpret it as an explanation of a modernist metanarrative.
Wonderful 👍
Will you be also doing a series on Philosophy of Science..?
Carneades, you and Kane are two of the bravest men on RUclips for your videos on science.
Kuhnian paradigm shifts can trivially be integrated into a rational and progressive view of science, turning paradigm shift into a normative rational principle rather than just an observation of irrational habit, by formulating it in terms of parsimony, or in terms of how complex a theory needs to be to account for the evidence at hand.
One needs to be so misguided to think that science makes no progress or we can't know that we're making progress ...
Very interesting. When addressing those communities which deny science, such as climate change denialists, I'm not sure whether Kuhn has given them fuel or exposes their incompetence. It's one thing to claim a scientific consensus is wrong such as with climate change or the age of the Earth, but quite another to demonstrate where and how it is wrong that supports the alternative facts in the case.
The paradigm shift from being able to only analyze blood type (type O or A or AB) to being able to determine potassium levels, iron levels, cholesterol or cocaine or heroin presence is a vast increase in knowledge (rather than a knowledge loss). The real methodology used in this instance of ground breaking chromatography chemistry was totally modernistic and raises serious doubts about Kuhn's work and the whole misguided (in my opinion) post-modern effort. You should also read Anthony Giddens critique of post-modern sociology in his book "The Consequences of Modernity".
Great video. What are your thoughts on Kuhn’s statement that “it is precisely the abandonment of critical discourse that marks the transition to a science.” Do you think Kuhn was correct in his view on this? Are there examples from the history of science and the philosophy of science that can show whether this is true or not?
What indeed 😎
Did he have the most cited academic publication of all time? I did some googling but couldn't find that
Fortunately Lakatos was able to incorporate Kuhn's observations back into the meta narrative of falsifiable scientific methodology. To say it in an overly brief statement: When we go through a paradigm shift, we put a finer point on our knowledge. For example, when Einstein made the theory of relativity, it did not destroy newtonian physics. It only showed that newtonian physics was a specific case of a larger picture.
I never liked Kuhn, a relativistic rubber-necker circling outside the objectivist-realist camp. Michael Polanyi's strictures (ie, flat opposition from someone both a real scientist and a real philosopher), on the Kuhn position are found in this rare five minute audio interview: 'Polanyi's View of Thomas Kuhn', Tradition & Discover channel,
How does the fact that predictions based on science are getting better and better, i.e. more accurate, square with Khun's idea that science does not make cumulative progress?

My dad sent me this when I asked him to get vaccinated. Can someone explain what’s the hell he means???
postmodernism/post truth/etc. not a thing people are just stupid and prefer delusion over suffering and others dont want to accept it
