"Che tipo di personalità è Thomas Kuhn? Thomas Kuhn è un tipo di personalità in mbti, 5w6 - so/sp - 514 in enneagram, RCOEI in big 5, ILI in socionics."
One of my favorite philosophers of science. If you've ever used the phrase "paradigm shift," you have him to thank. Kuhn studied the development of protoscience into what we now recognize as institutional science, and he analyzed how these periods of development could be classified as "normal science" or "paradigm shifting science", put forth in his groundbreaking essay (more of a book, really), "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". The basic idea is that most of the time, scientists operate as normal scientists within a specific paradigm -- they have an established commitment to the methods, frameworks and techniques that allow them to pick a specific problem and make progress on it to a depth and detail that would have been impossible without that paradigm. Progress then happens incrementally. However, as more knowledge is accrued, eventually we get to problems for which the current paradigm simply cannot supply the tools to solve. In that case, there is a paradigm crisis, and there is heated debate and exchange about how to account for the new, inexplicable data. Eventually, a new model or conceptual framework is proposed that can explain that data, and we move into a new paradigm. This repeats in cycles throughout scientific history. An example of this is in the early 20th century when the orbit of Mercury couldn't be accounted for with Newtonian Mechanics: it proved to be a nagging issue. This wasn't resolved until Einstein proposed the General Theory of Relativity, which could precisely predict everything Newtonian mechanics could and also account for the orbit of Mercury and the bending of starlight due to gravity. Thus, the paradigm had shifted, and new practitioners of physics had to learn to commit themselves to the frameworks of Einsteinian physics. With that out of the way, It's hard to say exactly what Kuhn's MBTI type is, since there's very little video evidence to go off of. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV-vh9y_TQs). However, the body of his work seems to be Ti-based, not Fi-based. About his Enneagram: despite being iconoclastic, he isn't a 5w4. It's important to remember that both 5w6 and 5w4 can be just as original and big-picture oriented. The difference is that for the 5w4, that originality is deeply coupled to their identity. Let's take the common analogy of "thinking outside the box". Originality for 5w6 comes from truly understanding the box, stepping outsider the box, and thinking about how the box ought to function. They can then explain to others how to solve problems faced by box-citizens. But for 5w4, the box is rather hazy and fluid; they mostly want to project their original conceptions out into the world as a placeholder for themselves: science to them is a deeply personal endeavor regardless of what the status quo is. In other words, 5w6s challenge the status quo by understanding the existing status quo deeply. 5w4s challenge the status quo by ignoring it altogether. Kuhn is much more of the former. Compare Kuhn to 5w4s like Einstein, whose work is intimately tied to who he was as an individual. All of Einstein's papers in the Miracle Year of 1905 came from primarily from personal TiNe/NeTi introspection; he referred very minimally to the existing work or opinions on the subject. In contrast, Kuhn looked at the entire trajectory of scientific development through the centuries to develop the paradigm shift idea. He was deeply invested in understanding the institutional aspects of science. He had to understand the leaks in the scientific process and how paradigms permit the tools for deep, detailed research, but also inhibit novelties, since novelties by definition challenge the commitments to the existing paradigm. Yet, one should not romanticize paradigm shifts at the expense of normal science; after all, it is normal science that brings forth the necessary knowledge to pre-empt a new paradigm. Kuhn was an exemplar of 5w6 thinking.
Biografia
Thomas Samuel Kuhn ( July 18, 1922 – June 17, 1996) was an American philosopher of science whose 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was influential in both academic and popular circles, introducing the term paradigm shift, which has since become an English-language idiom.
