Kuhn’s Paradigm and paradigmatic crisis


Thomas Kuhn wrote his most famous work entitled “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” based on the idea of “scientific paradigm”. In the beginning his “paradigm” was only restricted to the field of Hard Science. Step by step it became a tool applied to any other fields, and it even became a kind of a “fashion word” used in several circumstances. Anyway, as we have a succession of scientific paradigms in the History of Science, we could think if there is also a “succession of paradigmatic crisis” that we see or read through contextual concepts. Maybe, the Human History is a succession of crisis... or this is a vision of an after-postmodern point of view.

  1. A História da Humanidade sempre será escrita por uma sucessão de crises, e, também por uma sucessão de eventos de sucesso que revolucionaram as ciências sociais, e a própria História do Mundo!
