forum for week of 28 November: pragmatism
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:PHIL240/2011WT1-section2
In an internet reference, Thomas Kuhn: A philosophical history of of our times by Steve Fuller, there is the phrase, Rorty chides Kuhn for inconsistency, since Kuhn still wants to explain "the success of science." I am on the side of Kuhn in the appeal of his model description of the steps of a paradigm shift in science.
