The applicability of kuhnian paradigm in social science
Abstract
description of the term is lacking. By combing through the classical literature, I argue that Kuhn saw the term paradigm as a particular form
of refl ection of the scientifi c community's response to puzzles, and that it can be well applied to the natural sciences. And the example of
economics proves that this defi nition can be applied to the developmental models in the social sciences.
