Recently we encountered thomas kuhn’s views about the process of normal science and the paradigmatic theories that are essential for it: kuhn argues that most scientists spend most of their careers participating in “normal science”. explain three activities that scientists engage in during the process of normal science. in so doing, you might find it to discuss the difference between the main hypotheses of a theory and auxiliary hypotheses. kuhn argues that “paradigms” are essential for normal science by presenting normal science as a kind of puzzle solving. what is a paradigm? if normal science is a puzzle-solving activity, what two features are essential for it? explain. how does the paradigm provide these two features? ancient scientific works tend to be long, self-contained works that are accessible to the general educated public, but contemporary scientific work tends to be in the form of short articles that are impenetrable to non-specialists. how would kuhn explain this fact in terms of paradigms?
