Hello, I have an essay I have to write and I was hoping if you
could help me out with information, ideas and things to talk
about.
Can you help me find a
1. paradigmatic concept in the history of science.
Choose what you believe to be a paradigmatic concept in the
history of science. If your topic pertains to the physical
sciences, it's best to limit it to content covered up to this point
in the course. However, you can
choose any concept you believe to be 'paradigmatic' in ANY
scientific discipline (including the 'soft sciences'
like sociology, psychology, etc.). If you're unsure whether your
topic is technically 'science' (or paradigmatic) just email me or
ask in class.
Also can you pls give me great ideas on the (concept)
like
- why the concept is paradigmatic
- how it evolved from the previous paradigm it
replaced
- specific historical examples of the paradigm’s
evolution
Your argument should refer to the various stages and
concepts Kuhn uses to describe paradigm shifts. (For
example, what are some of the key anomalies of the previous
paradigm? What are the crises these anomalies
generated? How does the new paradigm deal with these?)
