Question

What are some ways that Thomas Kuhn’s scientific belief on paradigm shift work in the realm of science? Are there any holes in his belief that would demonstrate cons to the pros?

Answer 1

Answer: This is the answer to the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Kuhn argued that science does not evolve gradually toward truth.

Science has a paradigm that remains constant before going through a paradigm shift when current theories can’t explain some phenomenon, and someone proposes a new theory.

A scientific revolution occurs when: (i) the new paradigm better explains the observations and offers a model that is closer to the objective, external reality; and (ii) the new paradigm is incommensurate with the old.

For example, Lamarckian evolution was replaced with Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
