Subject:Thomas Kuhn and Framemaker From:Tzvee Zahavy <tzvee -at- ZAHAVY -dot- COM> Date:Sun, 10 Jan 1999 10:34:22 -0500
Kuhn's book is one of the breakthrough works in the history of science and
one of my favorites.
He argues that science is a human endeavor that progresses based on
theories until those theories become so unwieldy and unable to accomodate
facts and knowledge, that they are discarded and replaced by new ones. So
the Ptolemaic view of the universe was replaced by the Copernican.
I assume Melissa is reading Kuhn to better predict when Framemaker will be
overthrown because of all its anomalies! ;>)
