O'Reilly -- Open Source Paradigm Shift One such paradigm shift occurred with the introduction of the standardized architecture of the IBM personal computer in 1981. This cultural shift may have had its first flowering with open source software, but it is not intrinsically tied to the use of free and open source licenses and philosophies. The whole point of this is to also suggest that the other paradigm shift we need with open source is to put particular emphasis on simplifying principles that again open up the field for greater participation. tim.oreilly.com /articles/paradigmshift_0504.html   (14449 words)

Tapestry Institute: How Paradigms Shift Paradigms are things that people of a particular culture assume to be True. Because paradigm shifts challenge long-held assumptions about the nature of Reality itself, we do feel precisely this way: that if this evidence is true, then our orderly, predictable world has been suddenly rearranged. Paradigm shifts are rare events that usually require powerful evidence to initiate and sustain them, and that have enormous impact on the lives of individuals and cultures. www.tapestryinstitute.org /paradigmshift.html   (1136 words)

Science and Religious Belief: Science is a social construct, a summary of the Theories of Thomas Kuhn and his work on ... Paradigm shift results from discovery when anomalies cannot be incorporated into the paradigm, and further elaboration of fact is required. The major point is that paradigms constitute the scientific world, and the shift from one paradigm to another is a shift, for the researcher, from one world to another. The clash of paradigms entails a circular debate, in which one must enter the inner logic of the new paradigm in order to understand the nature of it, but no reason can be given from outside the paradigm why the opponent should enter the circle. www.geocities.com /metacrock2000/science/science2_kuhn.htm   (3850 words)

PARADIGMS and PARADIGM SHIFTS (Your first-ever Business e-Coach)   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Paradigms underlie our understandings of the physical sciences as well as the foundations on which virtually every other significant factor of everyday life is based. Paradigms influence how we govern ourselves, how our public institutions are configured and operate, our economic systems and institutions, the structures of our organizations, and how we manage people and other resources. Paradigms describe a basis for anticipation of specific events; they do not deal with values per se. www.1000ventures.com /business_guide/crosscuttings/thinking_paradigms.html   (474 words)

Paradigms For nearly 400 years paradigm has also been applied to the patterns of inflections that are used to sort the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech of a language into groups that are more easily studied. Paradigm: The word "paradigm" was originally one of those obscure academic terms that has undergone many changes of meaning over the centuries. Paradigm Shift : When anomalies or inconsistencies arise within a given paradigm and present problems that we are unable to solve within a given paradigm, our view of reality must change, as must the way we perceive, think, and value the world. ag.arizona.edu /futures/era/paradigmsmain.html   (686 words)

Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions - outline When paradigms enter into a debate about fundamental questions and paradigm choice, each group uses its own paradigm to argue in that paradigm's defense—the result is a circularity and inability to share a universe of discourse. Because paradigm shifts are generally viewed not as revolutions but as additions to scientific knowledge, and because the history of the field is represented in the new textbooks that accompany a new paradigm, a scientific revolution seems invisible. Since new paradigms are born from old ones, they incorporate much of the vocabulary and apparatus that the traditional paradigm had previously employed, though these elements are employed in different ways. www.des.emory.edu /mfp/Kuhn.html   (8208 words)

A Metaphor for a Worldwide Paradigm Shift   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Past paradigm shifts in the world have produced actual violence as in the persecution of the Christians by the Romans during the shift from the classical to the medieval mind or in the inquisitions that sometimes involved scientists during the seventeenth century that marked the shift from the medieval to the modern or scientific mind. Whereas the shift from the classical to the medieval world took some three to four hundred years and the shift from the medieval to the modern scientific paradigm took nearly two hundred years, the shift we are going through now seems to be happening somewhat faster. This breakpoint or bifurcation, where the curve of the S for the old paradigm begins to go down and the new paradigm begins the introduction phase of the a new S-curve, is a period of great turmoil, as we seem to be in today. www.vision-nest.com /cbw/Metaphor.html   (4507 words)

Fab-form - a paradigm shifting technolgoy 'Paradigm shifting technology' is a dramatically 'different' way of construction, a 'new' way that replaces the existing methodology. The term 'paradigm shift' was created in 1962 by Thomas Kuhn who proposed a theory wherein scientific revolutions "violently" replace existing paradigms. Historically, paradigm shifting products in construction take up to 80 years to achieve market penetration. www.fab-form.com /corporate/paradigm.html   (236 words)

The Second Draft An example of a major paradigm shift occurred in astronomy when scholars realized the earth and planets revolved around the sun instead of the sun revolving around the earth. One of the key indicators that paradigms have become dogmatic is the presence of verbal “landmines”: when one says certain things (see the “catch phrases”) from one paradigm, adherents of the other immediately either turn off or get hostile, accusing the person of racism, fascism, idiotarianism, islamo-bolshevism, etc. Ultimately, we need to be able to apply both paradigms, exploring our social and political world by treating them as working hypotheses that get confirmed or disproved in any individual case, rather than axiomatic truths that impose “right” on every case. www.seconddraft.org /ess_paradigms.php   (540 words)

Thomas Kuhn Although critics chided him for his imprecise use of the term, Kuhn was responsible for popularizing the term paradigm, which he described as essentially a collection of beliefs shared by scientists, a set of agreements about how problems are to be understood. Kuhn argued that a scientific revolution is a noncumulative developmental episode in which an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one. The Kuhnian argument that a scientific community is defined by its allegiance to a single paradigm has especially resonated throughout the multiparadigmatic (or preparadigmatic) social sciences, whose community members are often accused of paradigmatic physics envy. www.emory.edu /EDUCATION/mfp/Kuhnsnap.html   (1297 words)

Paradigm Shift 2012 A paradigm is a conceptual framework or set of assumptions under which we make rules, and determine inquiry. The Pluto in Leo generation therefore was able to take advantage of a paradigm shift with which to express their specific change as the major paradigm during the Uranus/Pluto conjunction of 1965. The overthrowing of the current paradigm is the effect of the Uranus/Pluto quadratures and this generation made drastic changes through computers, medicine, psychology and the entire service industry. www.astroconsulting.com /FAQs/paradigm_shift_2012.htm   (1843 words)

Paradigm Shift - Defined In 1962, Thomas Kuhn wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolution, and fathered, defined and popularized the concept of "paradigm shift" (p.10). For example, the introduction of the personal computer and the internet have impacted both personal and business environments, and is a catalyst for a Paradigm Shift. We are shifting from a mechanistic, manufacturing, industrial society to an organic, service based, information centered society, and increases in technology will continue to impact globally. www.taketheleap.com /define.html   (477 words)

The Scalar Paradigm Shift by Bill Morgan The scalar paradigm shifts our thinking from the jungle-born stuggle to survive to the vision that all is provided for "free," in a way. I guess the next thing that comes to mind is a shift humanity has already gone through once already, and that is the shift in human consciousness due to the appearance in the world of a weapon of an altogether higher order than anything previously known. Just as we went through the "atomic bomb" paradigm shift in the years after 1945, now we face the emergence of the new scalar electromagnetic weapons and their baffling and mind-boggling array of new destructive powers. www.prahlad.org /pub/bearden/scalar_paradigm_shift.htm   (2660 words)

Lynn M. Stuter -- Conspiracy? What Conspiracy? In the sense that the paradigm shift is not a coincidence, or a natural progression, yes, there is a conspiracy. When Hitler rose to power, pursuing the humanist/New Age paradigm shift, one of the first things he did, after achieving power, was to purge his ranks of all those who helped him rise to power. With regard to the paradigm shift and conspiracies, it is apparent that the magnitude of the restructuring occurring would not be possible were it not for a large body of people already trained in the semantics of the transformation if not the reality of it. www.newswithviews.com /Stuter/stuter33.htm   (2049 words)

Essentially, a paradigm shift is a complete change in thinking or belief systems that allow the creation of a new condition previously thought impossible or unacceptable. paradigmshiftmedia.com   (757 words)

Thomas Kuhn (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) The function of a paradigm is to supply puzzles for scientists to solve and to provide the tools for their solution. However, later, once Newton's theory had become accepted and the paradigm by which later theories were judged, the lack of an underlying mechanism for a fundamental force was regarded as no objection, as, for example, in the case of Coulomb's law of electrostatic attraction. In particular paradigms and their theories are not questioned and not changed in normal science whereas they are questioned and are changed in revolutionary science. plato.stanford.edu /entries/thomas-kuhn   (10587 words)

Paradigm shift definition   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Paradigm shift: A paradigm is our perception of reality, our view of the world. If our paradigm is based only on our input from the media of conventional newspapers, magazines, radio, television, Hollywood films, public education etc., may God help us, for we will only see things the way they, the elite and wealthy rulers of this world who control these sources of information, want us to see things!

Collaborative Divorce - The paradigm shift   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Each system that we use to deal with conflict is based on an implicit set of assumptions about who we are, how others relate to us, how safe we feel in the world, what our self-image is and other similar beliefs. By choosing the adversarial model or paradigm we are implicitly stating that we believe the world is a dangerous place and we will be crushed, defeated, or destroyed if we don't defend ourselves from others who want to do us harm. The Collaborative Process or paradigm is based on another set of implicit assumptions about which behaviours work best to resolve conflict. www.collaborativedivorce.org /philos/paradigm.html   (393 words)

IBM developerWorks : Blogs : Technology Observations With all these paradigm shifts in the software market, their comes a wave of technologists and business leaders that embrace the market vision and build new companies that help software developers build and support solutions to support the next wave of computing. Now Google and Microsoft with their SaaS solutions are further reinforcing this shift and a whole bunch of companies are moving forward with securing funding to fill gaps, provide tooling, infrastructure and new applications that create a legacy model for companies that are naysayers. Clearly we are in the early stages of this shift, however when you read articles like this one, it is for sure another indicator that the world is watching with great interest this next evolution and shift. www-03.ibm.com /developerworks/blogs/page/BobZurek?entry=the_ajax_paradigm_shift   (731 words)
