- Title
The Paradigmatic and the Interpretive in Thomas Kuhn.
- Authors
McRae, Murdo William
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," by Thomas Kuhn is presented. Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould has found one principal argument that science does not progress additively. It is stated that Gould does not think of the opposition between the scientist as templar acolyte or as revolutionary visionary by accident. It is suggested instead how thoroughly he has absorbed Kuhn's ways of thinking, which involves the opposition between two ways of knowing.
