Reviewer comment
This book itself, along with Dr. Kuhn's lectures, created a revolution in
scientific circles. He used the term 'paradigm' to mean the established
fundamental conceptions that are practically 'givens' at a particular time or
era within the scientific community.Once established the concept becomes the
basis for any further investigations upon which scientists stake their claims.
Thus, it becomes difficult to replace it even in the face of increasing
deviation of new knowledge from the standard 'paradigm'. He chose 4 fundamental
beliefs that were fought over for years or centuries.
