What is Kuhn's Paradigm Theory, and its elaboration from the platform of the biology major

Probably know about paradigm theory, but for biology majors,, not sure exactly which major in biology is being referred to, can only be understood in general terms.

Kuhn is known as the father of philosophy of science, paradigm theory is his representative theory.

I think the core and essence of paradigm theory lies in his definition of science as the theoretical foundations and practical norms by which conventional science operates, the worldview and behavioral approach that the community of researchers engaged in a particular science **** with.

Paradigm theory, at the same time, proves that science is time-bound and infinite. People do not always have to dwell on past theories and rules, but should create and summarize new theories when existing theories fail to explain objective phenomena.

That's why there are the words "normality" and "revolution". It is also known as paradigm shift.

From the point of view of biological evolution, any genetic variation is an "exception" from the previous organisms, which are different from the "norm" in the past. Because it is different from the norm, the past may have been considered wrong, wrong, or about to be proven right or wrong, good or bad.

But paradigm theory, however, suggests that such variation may be the accumulation of genetic variation in an organism in order to adapt to its environment and survive, which is the basis for the evolution of species. Since it is not possible to adapt to the old theoretical methods or logical reasoning, it is time to research and summarize more competitive scientific theories and methods.

The biology major is closely related to scientific experimentation. Paradigms represent a pattern of stages of scientific development through a specific scientific theory as an example.

Paradigms can be used to solve specific problems at specific times, and there is room for new disciplines and ideas.

Kuhn especially emphasized the specificity of science, and regarded specificity as a fundamental characteristic of science, because he believed that a set of practical scientific habits and scientific traditions for effective scientific work is very necessary and very important, it is not only a scientific **** the same body of unity, collaborative exploration of the bond, but also the basis for further research and development; not only to give any new discipline with its own characteristics, but also to give a new scientific discipline with its own characteristics, and to give a new discipline with its own characteristics, and to give a new discipline with its own characteristics. It not only gives any new discipline its own character, but also determines its future and development.
