The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Why this matters here

Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions describes normal science under paradigms and how communities persist with methods and problem-sets even after the questions that once justified them have shifted. Learning to See uses that persistence as a model for sedimented practice: success is misread as permanent warrant, so yesterday’s methods become evidence against tomorrow’s questions. The source is about scientific communities and paradigm change; the book asks how organizations treat “it worked before” as proof rather than as a claim under new conditions.
