This brings to mind Einstein's revolutionary physics that altered Euclidian conceptions of space and its philosophical impact.In this chapter, Kuhn defines a paradigm as an achievement that is sufficiently unprecedented to attract an enduring group of adherents away from competing modes of scientific activity, while being sufficiently open-ended to leave problems to resolve. Commitment and consensus around a paradigm are the basis for normal science.
