Does science make progress? Does it accumulate new knowledge and understanding as it goes about investigating the features and phenomena of the universe? Thomas Kuhn says no, in his 1962 work, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Rather, it is a social enterprise which goes through periodic paradigm shifts as a result of normal science's failure to gain knowledge via the current paradigm. The new paradigm is a revolution, a complete break with the old paradigm. This Friday's video examines the thought of Thomas Kuhn: https://youtu.be/ug8JomulJLk
In Friday's video, Dr. Hicks turns to Karl Popper's "Conjectures and Refutations." Popper takes up the question: what is science? Is Marxism or Freudianism scientific? What of Einstein's theory of relativity? What of astrology? Or astronomy? Popper offers his theory of falsification to help us discern the difference between science and pseudoscience. https://youtu.be/-hBbfGcN7Zs
