Introduction
A scientific progress is defined as science making progress through showing scientific knowledge, to grow there must be more knowledge found from when there was at the start. Until Kuhn and Popper the concept of scientific progress was not well heard off, they both attempted to explain in which the way science progresses and both remain a part of influencer history.
Thomas Kuhn’s theory of science came about in 1964, right after Popper’s theory discrediting it. Although they both have different theories Kuhn’s theory built on Popper’s that rather than to attack a theory to falsify it, the theory should be accepted and reshaped.
Popper’s theory of falsification (1963) explained that before a theory can be scientifically accepted, …show more content…
He hadn’t discovered a method to the way they worked but a common pattern, the paradigm was the pattern that he had encountered which shows the way in which scientists work with theories, in an attempt to explain how.
The paradigm is where development happens within a science that goes through a series of phrases. The phrases are as follows:
1. The first phrase is Prescience, this is where the scientist focuses on a theory but they haven’t formulated the theory as of yet, as they have to find a paradigm that works.
2. The second phrase is Normal Science, this is where the scientists, using research from past achievements to guide them, begin to develop their theory.
3. The third phrase is Anomalies, this is where the scientists encounter an anomaly in their theory but as of yet they can’t do anything about the anomaly.
4. The fourth phrase is the Revolution, this is where scientists solve the anomaly they had previously found, replacing what didn’t work which what …show more content…
The reason for how he had managed to not overcome him being misunderstood is partially to the fact, which he has admitted himself, that he was not able to come across the way he intended too, that what he said wasn’t as clear as to his understanding either. And if Kuhn himself did not understand what he was attempting to explain then how can anybody else?
Conclusion
Kuhn’s theory has influenced science to this day and remains the leader in his explanation of the progress of science against those of the like of Popper and Lakatos. Those it has been seen that Kuhn’s theory is not without its limitations, mostly brought on by misunderstanding and that he was focusing on the core sciences and not the social sciences that led to his theory not being entirely correct in its explanation. To this day, Kuhn remains the one to hold the title of the best explanation of scientific progress in the history of psychology, to how long will this last, who can
