Peter Lipton Quote

Kuhn [...] is Kant on wheels. Where Kant held that the human contribution to the phenomenal world is invariant, Kuhn's view is that it changes fundamentally across a scientific revolution. This is what he means by his notorious statement that, after a scientific revolution, 'the world changes'. This is neither the trivial claim that scientists' beliefs about the world change, nor the crazy claim that scientists can change the things in themselves simply by changing their beliefs. It is the claim that the phenomenal world changes because the human contribution to it changes.
