Kuhn explains science as a social activity that a community of scientists engage in, and he argues that scientists do not really try to falsify their theories like Popper says they do. He also claims that scientists are not willing to change their theories, and that new theories emerge only after the scientists who believed in the old theories die off and are replaced by a younger generation of scientists who prefer the new theories. Are any of Kuhn’s views about what science is similar to the views of science that you have been taught in your science classes?
