SRS,

Hhhhmmm!! Good debating point - but is there really a link between Kuhn's paradigm shifts and structuralism/post-modernism (which was originally about literary criticism, after all)? As I sit here, noodling on this keyboard, I can begin to convince myself that there may be ... perhaps?
At the end of the day it is probably 'rebel' physical scientists who generate the paradigm shifts in the physical sciences - and not literary critics and social scientists. I would be fascinated to learn of any examples which prove me wrong.
