The Paradigm Plague: Prevention, Cure, and Inoculation
探讨库恩的范式概念在社会科学和行为科学中的滥用，指出范式争论导致学科碎片化，并介绍一项反思性专业教育实验作为解决途径。
Although it is debatable whether Kuhn's concept of paradigm formation and change applies to the social and behavioral sciences, it has been very widely used to justify new descriptions, methods, and theories in these fields. Such is the dominance of paradigm arguments that fragmentation into incommensurable theoretical positions and specialties threatens to further undermine the credibility of the human disciplines. Some recent proposals by Hassard (1988) for overcoming paradigm hermeticism are noted, and the results of an experiment in reflexive professional education are put forward as one way out of the hermit's cave.
