The Essence and Revolutionary Character of Kuhn’s Paradigm

—Understanding the Idea of Paradigm from Kuhn’s Argument with Popperian

WANG Rong-jiang

Abstract: Through analyzing and criticizing the four modes of expression of Popper’s scientific view, Kuhn discusses the difference between his scientific view and Popper’s. Popper is subjectively seeking and constructing the "logic of discovery". However, Kuhn thinks that, in the description and interpretation of science, what’s really needed to do and able to do is value choice on psychology and sociology. Doing this, the idea of paradigm is more real and effective than general rules of logic, and is much more open-ended and explanatory power. In Structure what the idea of paradigm really expresses is, in the one hand, against the opinion in the past on science theory: scientific theory is self consistent and complete and is mainly established by means of the characteristics of the logical rules. Kuhn thinks it as a kind of expression of an imaginary ideology. To represent the characteristics of the science in above way is false. In the other hand, to distinct his own idea from the expression way of traditional theory, Kuhn uses paradigm rather than theory to express paradigm’s precedence over logical rules, which shows the fundamental difference between paradigm thought and logical thought, popular in the past, and the essence and revolutionary character of paradigm. In the west, the idea of paradigm not only is accepted by more and more people, but also gains more and more room for use.

(School of Marxism，Huaiyin Normal University, huai’an Jiangsu 223001)

Abstract：The essence of the Structure of Scientific Revolutions is to analyze how the changing from "Paradigm" causes the scientific revolution，and the analysis on "scientific problems" is almost the entry point and the key clues to all the Kuhn’s analysis. Kuhn analyzes the scientific problems in the framework of "Paradigm"，and explains how the scientific revolution occurs by analyzing the evolution of science problems. He divides scientific problems into "normal problems" and anomalies. "Normal problems" is divided into experimental and theoretical problems，and anomalies are divided into the finding of "new facts" and the invention of "new theory". "Normal problems" and anomalies have different characteristics and results on problem solving.

Key words: Kuhn; Paradigm; Scientific Problems；Normal problems；Anomalies
