"(10) watching myself search for structure,"

November 2023. This is a reflection on The Essential Tension (1977) and The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas Kühn as well as a translated copy of Paul Hoyningen-Huene's Reconstructing Scientific Revolutions (1993).

 

At the time, I was curious about applying Kuhn's ideas on conceptual change and development into psychology. How does the human mind manage the risk of novel information? What is the fabric of a worldview? Is there a relationship between intrinsic curiosity and the allostatic regulation of this worldview?​
