In the second sense, the paradigm is a single element of a whole, say for instance Newton’s Principia, which, acting as a common model or an example. In the first one, "paradigm" designates what the members of a certain scientific community have in common, that is to say, the whole of techniques, patents and values shared by the members of the community. Kuhn acknowledges having used the term "paradigm" in two different meanings. Paradigm shifts arise when the dominant paradigm under which normal science operates is rendered incompatible with new phenomena, facilitating the adoption of a new theory or paradigm. Kuhn contrasts paradigm shifts, which characterize a Scientific Revolution, to the activity of normal science, which he describes as scientific work done within a prevailing framework or paradigm. Kuhn presented his notion of a paradigm shift in his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962). Even though Kuhn restricted the use of the term to the natural sciences, the concept of a paradigm shift has also been used in numerous non-scientific contexts to describe a profound change in a fundamental model or perception of events. It is a concept in the philosophy of science that was introduced and brought into the common lexicon by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn. “So I went into the most ghetto, fucked-up place I could find and I’m barely coming out of it now.A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this shit ever again,'” he says.

They started writing, I think, in August, and I didn’t get into the studio until March, because I was going through all kinds of crazy shit. ![]() Those crazy days are long gone.”ĭavis tells us he had his own substance-abuse issues to get past, which heavily affected the writing of The Paradigm Shift. “And obviously the drugs – it’s no secret I was into the drugs, so crazy stuff, like having to finish our blow right before we got to the border because they were gonna come check to see if we had anything. “The last year I was in the band, we were gonna kick out the bass player, Fieldy, and this guy’s girlfriend couldn’t be on this side of the stage because there were fights with another wife in the band,” he says. Recalling previous European tours, he says there was a lot of tension and some stoner-movie escapades. We’re coming into the last stretch of this, and it’s been great,” he says. “If there was craziness still around, it would come out in Europe, ’cause Europe trips bring out stress, anxiety and stuff. He is confident that the reunited band can make things last long-term this time, because they’ve passed the Europe test on their current overseas tour. Nothing’s perfect, obviously, but for the most part, it’s just really awesome and positive.” “Everything changed with these guys – everything is more positive,” he says. Welch agrees that the band is in a far better place than when he departed in 2005. It was just fun being in the studio with his goofy ass again.” “To have our brother back was really good for morale. So I think it brought unity back between those two,” Davis says. “Originally, him and Munky, what was interesting about the band and what we did was that twin guitar thing.
