    Thank you very much, seriously. Having philosophy classes in english can be very challenging sometimes for those whose mother tounge isn't english. They make us read Thomas Kuhn's own writings, and without these videos I wouldn't understed the whole thing and process.

    Most paradigms of our sciences are fundamentally incorrect, but we still piece together working models from our observations. Dephlogistication or oxidation... same physical result but different paradigms.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    01:32 🔄 *Thomas Kuhn challenges the notion that science is always critical; he argues that science is mostly non-critical during normal science phases.*
    03:37 🔄 *Kuhn identifies four phases in the development of scientific disciplines: pre-paradigmatic, normal science, crisis, and scientific revolution.*
    05:50 🔄 *Kuhn introduces the concept of "paradigm" as the set of theories, concepts, methods, etc., that scientists in a discipline take for granted during normal science.*
    07:38 🔄 *During normal science, scientists do not critically question the paradigm, and this lack of constant criticism is seen as essential for detailed scientific work and progress.*
    09:00 🔄 *Kuhn suggests that the belief in science as a critical enterprise comes from not recognizing the phases other than normal science, where critical examination is more prevalent.*

  • @isisribeiroaesthetics3667

    i'm sorry i'm a student of philosophy and i would like to clear something. On my philosophy book it is said at kuhn's phase of science that it starts with the normal science then anomaly (when there are problems that scientists can't resolve with the current paradigm) then the crisis, then the extraordinary science (there is a discussion to seek if the current paradigm stays or it's time to creat a new one) and then the scientific revolution. Can you help me on this, please? I don't know is it's the book that is wrong or if it is you or you both areright i'm a little confused. Pls answer me the faster you can because i'm going to have an exam about this.

    • @Mrm3t21
      @Mrm3t21 Před 6 lety +1

      Hello, fellow philosophy student... the anomalies are part of the crisis, but should the paradigm be able to solve the anomaly then the crisis is averted if you will... the crisis only occurs if the anomalies are left unanswered for too long such that our faith in the paradigms ability to explain the anomaly starts to fade. If we do not believe the paradigm can answer the anomalies then we have a real crisis. Anomalies might be mentioned as after normal science because Kuhn maintains that there are anomalies in every scientific theory; which popper might call a falsification. This means Kuhn does obviously disagree strongly with Popper. Kuhn maintains normal science always has anomalies.

      @christiansather8438 Před 2 lety +1

      the harsh reality is that we emotionally invest in paradigms. people will defend their views to the death. Max Plank may have been on to something when he said science progresses one funeral at a time. science makes toys, largely.

  • @hippopotomonstrosesquipped8362

    I'm claiming either giants or some supernatural being built pyramids.
    It's the only option that actually makes sense (And maybe I'm coming up with this idea because scripture talks about giants) but you tell that to historians with biases they'd sooner have a heart attack than be open to critiquing their own theories.
    I mean they already know humans couldn't have built the pyramid with the knowledge of the tools the egyptians had available for that time.

    • @SprightlyPedagogue

      Well, I think the argument would be that most of the things social scientists do and think would be examples of normal science. Normal science is the "norm" of science. We take almost everything for granted.

    • @christianjimenez8356
      @christianjimenez8356 Před 6 lety +1

      NO! Kuhn EXPLICITLY meant only a few sciences (chemistry, physics)

      paradigms.

    • @michaelignat7402
      @michaelignat7402 Před 4 lety

      Teachers must be critical of their students work. They look for mistakes, undeveloped ideas, or incomplete thoughts. To be critical is to try and poke holes in, or look for errors in work. Scientists are critical of surveys that have a low sample size, or they can be critical about 'flat-earth theory.' Essentially, being critical is like taking a superstar basketball player and correcting their jump-shot, so they are more likely to make the shot next time. Picture it as exercising arguments until they are in olympic-like shape.

    This is why I have such a problem with the concept of anthropogenic climate change. Not because I have a problem with the idea that man's industrial activities over the last ~200 years is having a general warming effect on the planet, because I really don't have a problem with that. It is the fact that proponents for ACC are so very determined to deny any bit of uncertainty to promote their agenda of an impending apocalypse - to which, they will gladly excommunicate anyone who might occasionally object to some of their more outrageous claims, branding them with the scarlet letter D for "denier".

    @kipling1957 Před 4 lety +2

    It seems brash oversimplification for Kuhn to conclude that scientists are uncritical. There is a complete lack of nuance-either/or-in such a statement. Scientists surely are necessarily less critical of established paradigms and more critical of drawing conclusions from new observations, if only for pragmatic reasons. The existing paradigms themselves, for the most part, are established within a highly critical scientific framework, a methodology that evolved over time through rigorous argument and agreement between fellow scientists. I came here to get some handle on epistemology (as a working scientist) from a humanities perspective. But with such sloppy thinking demonstrated in the first video watched, I’m frankly aghast and feel no impetus to continue.

    • @baslems5567

      You're not a very good listener, kipling. Speaker cites Kuhn at 1:45 'most of the time, science isn't very critical at all'. That's not the same as you paraphrase Kuhn: that they are uncritical. The one that is oversymplifying is you.
