That was the best think about Kuhn/Structure I have read (for years)!

Thanks, that’s very kind!

I won’t tell Harry what you said! He was less pleased with what I wrote. :-)

bnerlich.bsky.social•84 days ago

Oh no why (I like Harry, so now I wonder what he objected to) - I liked what you said about being sort of proud of 'normal science' and also how the ending of the book opened up a minefield, so to speak

He was fine with the article, but thought the last bit about hitting the wall of reality, etc., missed the point. I dug out an old email exchange where we planned to chat on the phone, which I don't remember at all. If only I took notes!

I have always been impressed by how openly he has been willing to argue with someone who (relatively speaking) has no idea what he's talking about!

bnerlich.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yep, I liked that too!
