Kuhn himself mentioned this in a 1969 postscript appended to his original publication. The OP summarises Kuhn's postscript: Kuhn tried to clarify the matter by starting to use the term "disciplinary matrix" to describe more of what he was loosely referring to as "paradigms" initially. He started using the word "paradigm" specifically for what he now termed "exemplars": examples from existing scientific reseach in a field that are taken as exemplary models of how a key problem in that scientific field was solved, and which implicitly provide guidance for how currently unsolved problems in that field are best approached.

Hunh, it seems that the 1969 postscript at least is available online

This is the Aladeen answer.

My favorite class was the philosophy of the history of the science of the mathematics of the literature of the culture

Use it in a sentence please

Google Ngram viewer kind of confirms this. Basically no usage of the the word until about 1962, when The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was released.

I just hope the author never reads The Bible

This article showcases the fact that the author despite knowing the text, he clearly doesn’t understand it.

The way I read Nietzsche, he was not so much against stoicism, but instead supported a belief that we all feel the same emotions even if we don’t outwardly display them. Nietzsche viewed emotions and reason as complementary, but he also claimed that too much emotion was a display of weakness. It’s quite possible that he considered practicing stoics as being rather detached. However, I don’t read him as outright rebuking stoicism either.

Stoicism, at least the popular view of the Greek/Roman version, is about keeping your shit together whenever you hit a bump in the road. In that way you can attain a more satisfying life by focusing on the things that really matter. In a nutshell, bad things happen, so accept it and move on. I know stoicism is more than this, but in the case of the blog being referenced, the author seems to be focusing on stoicism within modern daily life.

I respect the author, Neil Durrant, and his position on this. He is an expert on ethics, and I am not, so I’m not going to attempt to criticize what he has written. I accept his views as valid. Stoicism is not for everyone, and I accept that as well. All I’m going to say is that I believe following the four virtues of stoicism is a worthy endeavour in our current culture in which emotions and fear seem to be ever-present.

Yeah, and one having actual say in the matter, but choosing to do nothing about it seems weak.

Like half-assing buddhism.

What was the top comment again? Oh right, something along the lines of doing the best within control or capabilities idk?

God damn I read about paradigm in the context of quantum physics and gaslighting from stumbleupon like 10 years ago. Now everybody uses those words wtf

Next question: Now, how can we shift it? 🙃

Hey I mentioned Nietzche gib me updoot-this sub

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm" -- aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.

-- I'm fired, aren't I?

Latin's awesome idk what you mean

Just as an aside, the ubiquity of the word trope, while not always misused, bugs the shit out of me. I still remember when it emerged in Village Voice movie reviews back in 2004 or so. Nails on chalkboard to me.

yeah and crazy that the person not understanding stoicism is the one lecturing others about it...mad world

Ah interesting!

Sounds like it's a bit 50/50 since it's usually your thoughts that creates judgement and expectations.

I recall from my own PhD studies that Kuhn used it many ways. Something like 60 different ways (I’ll have to check this, but will advised later if very wrong).

EDIT - “Masterman (1970) a friendly critic of Kuhns claimed to have spotted more than 20 different ways that Kuhn used the term paradigm in his book…”

So I was not accurate above, but I knew there was quite a lot of ways the term was variously originally used by Kuhn. I’ve also slightly paraphrased the above quote but retained the essence.

You are right, actually, and thanks for correcting me. It was OP who framed it this way with the title.

I use paradigm all the time as an engineer -- it is really useful when comparing different models,

For example it would be useful to distinguish the "ideal" and "real" paradigms of a topic -- similar words to describe these are "regimes", or "cases".

On some level, it often feels like the word that fits best in an academic paper. It is the only word out of these examples that ONLY means "category of thought" - this is free from any possible ambiguity.

I think they mean to say that this use of the word paradigm originated with him.

paradigm (n.) late 15c., "an example, a model," from Late Latin paradigma "pattern, example," especially in grammar, from Greek paradeigma "pattern, model; precedent, example," from paradeiknynai "exhibit, represent," literally "show side by side," from para- "beside" (see para- (1)) + deiknynai "to show" (cognate with Latin dicere "to show;" from PIE root *deik- "to show," also "pronounce solemnly"). In 20c. it began to be used in the more specific philosophical sense of "logical or conceptual structure serving as a form of thought within a given area of experience," especially in Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" (1962). Related: Paradigmatic; paradigmatical.

Nowhere does it say that he invented the word. In order to talk about an idea, philosophers will often use an appropriate word and define it in the context of their framework of thinking. Kuhn thought that the term paradigm captured what he meant better than any other word and then gave context to what he meant within his own framework. You can see this with many philosophers, who often choose specific words for complex reasons after years of study, see: Deleuze and the word Rhizome, or Nietzsche and Ubermensch, for instance.

Notice: >To summarise then, a paradigm for Kuhn has two core meanings.

A book of philosophy says "Here is what I'm thinking, here are the terms I'm using, and here's what I'm using them to mean in this context so that we can talk about these ideas."

>When u have an " emperor" being one of the biggest examples,

The other biggest example? A slave.

This title would be easier to read had “Paradigm” been quoted in some fashion.
