Abstract

Thomas Kuhn in his remarkable work “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” managed to show that the historical approach to the study of changes in scientific knowledge gives other data than is generally considered correct in this science. This important conclusion allows us to investigate the evolution of scientific knowledge, and it is possible and necessary to do this not only in physics (as in Kuhn’s work) but also in humanitarian directions or in social sciences. Understanding the meaning of the term “paradigm” introduced by Kuhn makes it possible to identify those theories that have a significant impact on related fields of knowledge. We will try to show the essential content of the paradigm, the scientific community from the positions of T. Kuhn and other scientists of philosophers and sociologists, and also we will perform some analysis of the application of these concepts to the science of law.
