Paper Paradigm

Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or paradigm:

    They come on to my clean
    sheet of paper and leave a Rorschach blot.
    They do not do this to be mean,
    they do it to give me a sign....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
