The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
There are two types of science; normal science and revolutionary also known as extraordinary science. Regimented work is known as normal science, it articulates a paradigm. His book sold over a million copies and was made in two dozen languages. In Kuhns book he talked about paradigm, paradigm shift and the change a paradigm goes through. Kuhn wanted go get into peoples heads and understand why they thought the way they did. There were many different views and theories.

Paradigm Shift
Paradigm shifts, his research was revolutionary. A paradigm is the idea that science is steady progressing. He looked at scientists as puzzle solvers and moved forward knowledge already known. A paradigm has two core meanings. Disciplinary matrix is science when the community shares commitments to solving a problem. It is a shared view. Exemplary paradigm shows scientists where the puzzle has a problem and how to solve it. Each paradigm is viewed differently.

Kuhns Importance
Kuhn began writing philosophy in England and the United States. He denied any form of scientific method. He looked at scientists as forward problem solvers instead of backward problem solving scientists. He was a physics graduate but decided his heart was more interested in philosophy. Kuhn liked Creativity and the willingness to try anything. There is a body of knowledge that has been accumulated from generations of research and while exploring the theories he found paradigms.

Kuhn Speaking about his book
Kuhn helped people to view paradigms differently. Opening up others eyes in pre paradigm and paradigm shift. Starting at the fundamentals and researching further. There are no methods that are standardized, free thinking and being creative to make new discoveries. He looked at Newtons work along with others theories to gain more clarity on his own knowledge. By taking others work and making it work in his favor. He believed there was no correct method
