Popper and Kuhn
- Karl Popper thought that science was an evolutionary process.
- It advanced in steps.
- Thomas Kuhn noted that scientific revolutions were important.
- He thought that real advances came through paradigm shifts, with
entire theories replaced.
- (He also felt that this usually required a generational shift, as
the older generation was stuck in the older paradigm).
- Which is right?
- Are these contradictory?
