释义

Kuhnian

/ˈkuːnɪən/

Of or relating to Kuhn or his thought, especially with reference to his view of the development of scientific theories.

Eventually an accumulation of contradictory observations may result in a change in the paradigm, such as the replacement of Ptolemaic cosmology by Copernican heliocentrism..
noun
An advocate of the Kuhnian view of science.

Origin

1960s. From the name of Thomas Samuel Kuhn, U.S. philosopher of science + -ian.
