Abstract:

Thomas Kuhn tudományfilozófiájának recepciójával a tudományokról való magyar gondolkodás fölzárkózhatott a nemzetközi tendenciákhoz. Ugyanakkor Kuhn elméletének egy speciális, leegyszerűsített és kritikátlan megközelítése vált meghatározóvá, mely figyelmen kívül hagyva Kuhn későbbi korrekciós szándékát, az eredeti, 1962-es könyv koncepciójához ragaszkodott. Az ennek nyomán teret nyerő, sokszor radikális relativizmusba hajló tudományfölfogás nem csupán leegyszerűsítő, ideologikus képet nyújt a tudományokról, hanem egyúttal a tudományos paradigma eredeti kuhni elméletének néhány mozzanatához (így az összemérhetetlenséghez, a kölcsönös megértés nyelvi-fogalmi okok miatti hiányához, és a paradigmaváltás holista szemléletéhez) dogmatikusan ragaszkodva, blokkolja a tudománytörténet sokszínűségének föltárását, elvárva, hogy a tudománytörténeti események minden esetben szigorúan e fölfogásának és fogalmaknak megfelelően kerüljenek értelmezésre. E fölfogást bírálva előbb röviden vázoljuk a tudományos paradigma kuhni fogalmát, majd a kopernikuszi elmélet németországi recepciójával foglalkozó kutatások eredményeit fölhasználva bemutatjuk a ptolemaioszi és a kopernikuszi elmélet kuhni összevetésének tarthatatlanságát. Ennek során egyrészt jelezzük, hogy nem csupán a Kuhnra hivatkozó, de az általa elutasított radikális tudományfilozófiai relativizmus, hanem az eredeti kuhni paradigmaelmélet is alkalmatlan a Kopernikusz-recepció értelmezésére. Másrészt amellett érvelünk, hogy a tudományos paradigma kuhni fogalmának a diszciplináris mátrix eszméjét is fölhasználó, revidiált-strukturált, nem holista változata megfelelő teoretikus eszközt kínál a kopernikuszi recepció első, protestáns fázisának tárgyalására.

Abstract:

A tudományos tudás filozófiai és történeti vonatkozásai elengedhetetlenek a nemzetközi társadalom-földrajzi szakirodalomban érvényesülő, episztemológiailag különböző irányzatok pluralizmusának érdemi megértéséhez. Ezeknek az irányzatoknak a világos és megfelelő közvetítése nélkül a feltehetően posztszocialista állapotban lévő hazai társadalomföldrajzban uralkodó filozófiai identitásválság csak fokozódhat. Thomas S. Kuhn és a társadalomföldrajz találkozása jó esettanulmányt képez a tudománytörténet-írás kontextualista megközelítéseinek bemutatásához. Kuhn gondolatait a tudományos diskurzusok vitáiban folyamatosan kontextusán kívül értelmezték újra, és az aktuális tudományos érdekeknek megfelelően mozgósították fogalmait. A „kvantitatív forradalom” olyan pozitivista narratívát konstruált, amely Kuhn „tudományos forradalmának” kifejezésére és a paradigmák progresszív sorára leegyszerűsített „kuhni modellre” támaszkodott, mindez pedig a múlt újraírását szolgálta a jelen álláspontok érdekében. Később, a „forradalom” kritikai újraértelmezése során a „modell” tudománytörténeti alkalmasságát alapvetően elvetették, annak ellenére, hogy Kuhn több gondolata eredetileg anti-pozitivista és erősen kritikus volt. Ugyanakkor éppen a kritikai átértékelések közepette jelentek meg az első kontextualista gondolatok, melyek nagyon hasonlítottak Kuhn eredeti elképzeléseire az analógiák heurisztikus jelentőségéről, a szemléletek inkommenzurabilitásáról, a pedagógia és a képzés szerepéről a tudósközösségben, de leginkább a prezentista történetírás éles kritizálásáról. A tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassa Kuhn szövegbeli, szemléleti és történelmi kontextusát az angolszász és a magyar interpretációk kritikai elemzésével, hogy ismertesse a kontextualista és szociológiai megközelítéseket a magyar földrajzosok számára a történeti elbeszélés szempontjából.

Abstract:

We introduce some concepts of generalized invexity for the continuous-time multiobjective programming problems, namely, the concepts of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker invexity and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker pseudoinvexity. Using the concept of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker invexity, we study the relationship of the multiobjective problems with some related scalar problems. Further, we show that Karush-Kuhn-Tucker pseudoinvexity is a necessary and suffcient condition for a vector Karush-Kuhn-Tucker solution to be a weakly efficient solution.

Abstract:

According to Kuhn’s account of the nature of scientific paradigms, how one experiences the world varies drastically from one context to another depending on the accepted paradigm of the context in question. In other words, one’s pre-existing conceptual structure concerning the world not only acts as an epistemological framework for its possible understanding, but also fundamentally affects the phenomenological observations of the world as something; this latter function of the conceptual structure motivates the view that mature scientific paradigms/theories and the data of scientific observation/experimentation are essentially two sides of the same coin. What is interesting, then, is that even between different historical eras that generally regarded the world in clearly incompatible ways, albeit still informed by paradigms, Kuhn still attributes scientific knowledge to each. To make sense of this, the explanatory resources of epistemological contextualism are used to specify potentially one way in which epistemic standards for knowledge must change between different historical eras for one to justifiably claim scientific knowledge within these different contexts. As we shall see, the argument for Kuhn’s account of paradigm being contextualist in character is apparently best made through the notion of doubt-driven context-shifts as actualising change in the form of P between different contexts in which “S knows that P” is asserted. As such, this paper first explores Kuhn’s account of scientific knowledge and paradigms before considering how the account can be considered contextualist in nature. Moreover, other context-concerned systems, such as Traditional, and Subject-Sensitive Invariantism, are briefly investigated to substantiate claims of what cannot be accurately ascribed to Kuhn’s epistemology.

Abstract:

Background. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome or tracheobronchomegaly is a rare disorder characterized by marked dilatation of the trachea and main bronchi, bronchiectasis, and recurrent respiratory tract infections. Its clinical presentation may vary and mimick a variety of disorders. Case report. A 43-year-old female patient, non smoker, complained of intermittent mild dyspnea. Lung function tests and cardiologic findings were within normal limits. The diagnosis was established by computed tomography, which was undertaken due to recurrent lower respiratory tract infections suggestive of bronchiectasis. The transversal tracheal diameter was 2.8 cm that was the criteria for making the diagnosis. In this sporadic case, no association with other disease or condition known to cause secondary tracheobronchomegaly was established. Conclusion. Although rare in clinical practice, Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is an important differential diagnosis in cardio-pulmonary medicine due to a variety of its clinical manifestations. Nowadays, it is easy to diagnose it owing to advanced imaging techniques.

Abstract:

Initially trained as a physicist, Kuhn became a leading and extraordinarily influential figure in the history of science. He saw his work in the history of science as contributing to a novel philosophical conception of the nature of science. At the outset of Structure, for example, Kuhn announces his intention to replace the “development-by-accumulation” model he associates with the philosophical tradition before him—including, in particular, what he calls “early logical positivism”—with a new model of radical conceptual discontinuity or incommensurability. Structure was written during Kuhn's tenure teaching philosophy and history of science at Berkeley, and, shortly after its publication, he took up a new post as professor of philosophy and history of science at Princeton. From 1983 until his death in 1996 Kuhn was professor of philosophy at MIT, where he attempted further to articulate his conception of incommensurability, taking account of developments in linguistics and philosophy of language.

Abstract:

T. Kuhn’s theory of scientific revolutions has repeatedly been the subject of criticism. It is important to note that Kuhn pays very limited attention to the phenomenon of the scientific revolution itself, comparing the revolution either with a religious conversion or with a gestalt switch. Such comparisons, however, are very superficial. This paper outlines a new understanding of the scientific revolution as a result of the resonance of the intellectual trends of the early modern period. It was the quasi-simultaneous action of various factors (from the great geographical discoveries to social cataclysms and the religious Reformation) that led to revolutionary changes in natural philosophy, which, in turn, gave rise (already in the XVIIIth century) to the actual scientific revolution. In addition, the article shows that the Copernican Revolution cannot be described within the model of scientific revolution developed by T. Kuhn. Ptolemy’s theory was mathematically constructed so that it could not make inaccurate predictions of planetary motion, because – as we are now clear – the function characterizing the trajectory of planetary motion was actually represented as a Fourier series. The Copernican revolution was not a Kuhn-type scientific revolution, nor was it caused by the empirical failures of Ptolemaic astronomy (i.e. the accumulation of anomalies turning into a crisis). Events unfolded according to a different scheme. Copernicus set out to carry out the principle of the uniform circular motion of the planets more consistently than had been done in Ptolemy’s theory, at the same time presenting to this theory those requirements of an aesthetic and methodological order, which the cognitively fragmented system of Ptolemy, for all its flexibility, could not satisfy and, by the conditions of its creation, could not satisfy. In addition, the article shows that Copernicus, in constructing his heliocentric theory, was essentially seeking answers to the challenges that Alberti’s artificial perspective and Nicholas of Cusa’s theological speculation posed to the visual experience in the sixteenth century.

Abstract:

This article is the preface to the Russian translation of my Kuhn vs Popper. I use it as an opportunity to re-examine the difference between Kuhn and Popper on the nature of ‘revolutions’ in science. Kuhn is rightly seen as a ‘reluctant revolutionary’ and Popper a ‘permanent revolutionary’. In this respect, Kuhn sticks to the original medieval meaning of ‘revolution’ as restoration of a natural order, whereas Popper adopts the more modern meaning of ‘revolution’ that comes into fashion after the French Revolution, which suggests a radical renewal. A key to understanding this difference in revolutionary mentalities lies in Kuhn’s and Popper’s respective treatment of the ‘Gestalt switch’ phenomenon. Kuhn sees the ambiguous Gestalt figure from the standpoint of the subject, and Popper from that of the experimenter. Behind this difference lies alternative interpretations of the significance of quantum mechanics for scientific epistemology, a preoccupation that Kuhn and Popper shared with the original Gestalt psychologists and is beginning engage the interest of social scientists.

Abstract:

Even though Thomas Kuhn was a physicist by formal education, he is better known for his achievements in philosophy of science than in science itself. He was primarily concerned with history of science and subjects such as development of science, growth of scientific knowledge, changes in science and others. In that sense Kuhn was focused on giving the correct description of scientific reality in human history, that is, on giving the description of the most relevant elements of scientific research. Kuhn claims that scientists base their research on paradigms which are the key factor in scientific practice overall. All other concepts of Kuhn?s philosophy - such as, for instance, normal science, revolutionary science, incommensurability of paradigms - gain their meaning in relation to the concept of a paradigm. However, the concept of a paradigm in its original definition was very problematic, which, later on, led Kuhn to make its meaning more precise. Hence, the task of this paper is to illuminate the nature of that central concept i.e. to determine the essential features of a paradigm in relation to the rest of the conceptual network of Kuhn?s theory, and therefore its role in science and in that conceptual network. At the same time, the meaning of all those elements of Kuhnian science which are in direct relation to the paradigm will be illuminated. I will restrict my research on early and transitional period of Kuhn?s creatorship, and I base this distinction on Sankey?s analysis. The difference between these two periods is determined by Kuhn?s thinking about the formulation of the thesis of incommensurability of paradigms. Accordingly, it is necessary to deal with definition of incommensurability, its division to types and Kuhn?s view on implications of incommensurability for science and its progress.

Abstract:

Thomas Kuhn argues that scientific advancements sometimes involve paradigm shifts between incommunsurable theories, thoughts, and concepts. I argue that the phenomenon Kuhn is attempting to describe is better explained as akin to a greatest integer function of punctuated equilibrium. I conclude that Kuhn is mistaken in thinking that science is an actively vigorous, cumulative discipline.

Abstract:

Esse artigo procura mostrar a crítica de Thomas Kuhn a algumas concepções da historiografia da ciência contemporânea que radicalizaram muitas das posições formuladas inicialmente pelo próprio Kuhn. Pretende-se ainda mostrar que um reposicionamento de Kuhn, a partir de sua crítica a seus sucessores, o aproxima mais de suas influências iniciais, em especial, de Ludwig Wittgenstein e Ludwik Fleck.

Abstract:

In previous work, we have shown that the entropy of a folded RNA molecule can be divided into local and global contributions using the cross-linking entropy (CLE) model, where, in the case of RNA, the cross- links are the base-pair stacking interactions. The local contribution to the CLE is revealed in the Kuhn length (a measure of the stiffness of the RNA). The Kuhn length acts as a scaling parameter. When the size of the system is rescaled, the relationship between local and global free energy must be renormalized to reflect this rescaling. In this renormalization process, the Kuhn length increases, the local entropy also increases due to freezing out of the local conformational degrees of freedom. At the same time, as the number of degrees of freedom decrease, there is a significant reduction in the global entropy. Here we present a method, based on the concepts of renormalization theory, to quantitatively estimate the size of the contribution from the local entropy as a function of the Kuhn length. The local entropy correction is used to predict the current empirically derived constant in the Jacobson-Stockmayer equation. The variation in the Kuhn length is shown to be largely influenced by the length of the double-stranded RNA stems formed in the secondary structure of folded RNA. This result is used to test the resulting entropy under a variable Kuhn length in stem-loop structures. Comparisons between a variable Kuhn length and a static Kuhn length on a short stem-loop of RNA are also examined. The model is quite general and is also directly applicable to protein structure and folding problems.

Abstract:

Thomas Kuhn dengan konsep revolusi ilmiahnya memiliki karakteristik pemikiran dan model ﬁlsafat baru dalam hal sejarah lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan dan ﬁlsafat sains serta peranan sejarah ilmu pengetahuan dalam mengkonstruksi ataupun merekonstruksi munculnya ilmu pengetahuan baru. Bagi Thomas Kuhn sejarah ilmu pengetahuan merupakan starting point dalam mengkaji permasalahan fundamental dalam epistemologi keilmuan karena sains pada dasarnya selalu ditandai dengan kuatnya paradigma serta revolusi ilmiah setelahnya. Fase inilah yang diistilahkan Thomas Kuhn sebagai fase sejarah lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan baru, dimulai dengan normal science, kemudian terjadi anomaly dan crisis, setelah itu barulah muncul revolusi ilmiah sebagai bentuk lahirnya ilmu pengetahuan baru. Pemikiran Thomas Kuhn tersebut dapat dikontekstualisasikan dengan pengembangan keilmuan Islam dengan tujuan membangun keterbukaan pemikiran keislaman terhadap anomali dan crisis serta munculnya revolusi dalam ilmu keislaman sehingga memotivasi munculnya paradigma baru di ranah keilmuan Islam. Berbagai pendekatan dalam studi Islam dapat digunakan seperti pendekatan normatif, historis, sosiologis, antropologis dan pendekatan lainnya dalam rangka membumikan Islam menjadi agama yang rahmatan lil alamin.

Abstract:

Paciente con un cuadro clínico crónico caracterizado por episodios intermitentes de tos y sibilancias interpretados previamente como crisis asmáticas, por hallazgos radiológicos se realiza diagnóstico de traqueobroncomegalia o síndrome de Mounier Kuhn. El síndrome de Mounier Kuhn es una malformación congénita rara del tracto respiratorio bajo, caracterizada por aumento del calibre de la tráquea y los bronquios principales debida a atrofia o ausencia de fibras elásticas del músculo liso del árbol bronquial, lo cual predispone a infecciones respiratorias a repetición debido a la inadecuada limpieza mucociliar, llevando a la aparición de bronquiectasias. Hay pocas descripciones de este síndrome a nivel mundial
