American philosophy has developed and grown based on the education and knowledge of men who undertook various endeavors that became phenomenal in their nature. In this study, the focus is on Thomas Khun, an American philosopher whose work has influenced the country until today (Bhopal).

The primary event of Thomas Khun that marks this discussion is the 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Primarily, this is the book that introduced the term “paradigm shift” which has become an English idiom in American and elsewhere (Fioritti ). In his discussion of how scientific knowledge advances and grows, Kuhn submitted that seasons of change and new dimensions often occur, and they are known as “paradigm shifts.”

From the explanation above, this study submits that Khun was essential in showing the significance of progressive and agile research in any scientific area. Notably, there are no scientific truths that cannot be changed and scientists and scholars of fields must offer the various notions the benefit of the doubt. For example, if a scientific experiment on a given clinical issue showed that a proposed intervention could not work, it should not be entirely cast away.

By the logic of the philosophy of Khun, such an ideological is subject to more critical examination to determine its applicability in another dimension (Shan). The events of 1962 were essential since it was also the time that America and the world were increasingly changing and adapting to new ideas (Bhopal). Even socio-economic changes such as male and female dichotomies were subjected to a paradigm shift, a testament to the validity of the philosopher’s ideologies.
