Letter to BZ

Dear Z,

As I read, you deal with Kuhn's theory of paradigm as well. If you could see that my book is full of scribbled notes! (Incidentally, 1984 was 44Ft the price of this book. Incredible! This represents a 100-fold price increase in past 30 years!)

As much as I appreciate Thomas S. Kuhn's book on scientific revolutions, I do not agree with it in many respects, and even then I did this when I first read it. Maybe you are interested, so I summarize my feelings against his opinion.

(Additional contents:

– „Paradigma shift” and the law of “the transformation of quantity into quality”
– Kuhn and Karl Popper’s "falsificationism"
– Changes of information in a paradigma shift)

After registration, you may ask for a translation of the full text by email.
