Thomas Kuhn on Paradigm Shifts and Scientific Change

"Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream. People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt dissenting opinions do so ,because they were already naturally predisposed to do so and events have brought about a process by which they have become more true to themselves."

"Basically, we must now say, there is only spirit. Matter is, so to speak, the slag of the spiritual. In our limited human perception, we regard this slag—as we can grasp it with our hands—as far more important than the spiritually alive. But in fact, it must be recognized: Ultimately, there is nothing that exists, nothing that exists by itself. There is only change, transformation, processes. Against this background, we can say: At every moment, the world is newly created. Paradigm of the living!" Hans-Peter Dürr
