Paradigms - an Introduction Weapon of Mass Persuasion: Course 1
Thomas Kuhn and the Structure of Scientific Revolutions
The idea of the "paradigm"
Paradigms determine perceptions as well as interpretations.
Paradigms consist of concepts and relationships.
Paradigms are associated with a unique vocabulary, which carries those concepts.
But the same word can have different meanings in different paradigms
- (e.g. mass in Newtonian physics vs. Einstein's physics or justice in politics).
