Is Kuhnian paradigm in crisis?

In contemporary philosophy of science, perhaps the most frequent view on th e evolution of scientific theory is that which is treated in Kuhn's work, T he Structure of the Scientific Revolution. The author believes that this vi ew became a paradigm in the philosophy of science in the sense that Kuhn hi mself refers to. It is therefore time to ask how it is possible that this k ind of idea has remained dominant in the minds of scientists for so long, a nd what kind of inner transformations in thought could lead to a change of the paradigm. The perspective of cognitive science is applied in this paper . Cognitive science has made extensive study of what is contained in the term paradigm itself by attempting to trace the mechanisms of its origin. In th e field of cognitive science the prevailing opinion is that the endoceptive model of the world is something that precedes any kind of perception and w hich makes it possible for us to perceive the world as we perceive it. What appears in Kuhn's position as a discontinuous transition from one viewpoin t to another is caused by the generation of a different model of the world, a different endocept. In this connection a number of questions come to min d: how are endocepts mutually interrelated, what is the mechanism of this i nterrelation, and how do endocepts emerge? The paper attempts to find possible answers to these questions, while empha sis is also placed on how a new paradigm can be derived from experience, im agination, and theory.
