According to Tomas Kuhn, “normal science means research firmly based on one or more past scientific results, results which a particular scientific community recognizes for a certain period as providing the basis for its future practice (Pajares). The findings that Kuhn calls paradigms help the scientific community develop a scientific method for solving puzzles. Particular puzzles that paradigms fail to solve and that ultimately lead to paradigm shifts are called anomalies. Since Kuhn first introduced the relationships of these three terms to the philosophy of science in “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” scientific communities have improved their understanding of science and society. By describing two different paradigms of Paley and Lamarck on organic change in the early 19th century, Kuhn's paradigms can further demonstrate his efficient way of articulating scientific assumptions and understanding scientific change. In William Paley's paradigm, the world is perfectly designed by a benevolent God. who created everything intentionally and "added pleasure to animal sensations" (RP 47). Paley firmly believes in the existence of a God who is wise and benevolent enough to create everything on earth with happiness and purpose. For Paley, science is a tool to complement the greatness of religion and demonstrate the importance of Design (RP 46). To support his paradigm, Paley illustrates the artifice and work of God in nature with the methodological assumption of the First Cause (the belief in the existence of God) and the Final Cause (the belief that a God creates an object with a scope). Furthermore, the metaphysical assumption of a close and active God underlies the paradigm as an influencing premise and...... middle of paper ......d for centuries. On the other hand, Lamarck challenges this traditional thinking and proposes a new theory that contains controversial ideas. With this provocative attitude, he demonstrates his intent to challenge the results obtained for centuries and cause scientific changes that lead to paradigm shifts. Comparing Paley's and Lamarck's paradigms shows how Kuhn's paradigm can be used to compare and explain different paradigms. With the examples of observation, hypotheses and anomalies, two paradigms clearly demonstrate their ability to solve puzzles and their potential influence on understanding society. Kuhn's paradigmatic model helps to understand changes in scientific perspectives and in the course of European society. The use of this paradigmatic model can provide the opportunity to explain current scientific paradigms and assist in the development of new paradigms.
