  Thomas Nickles suggests that there are three types of people: “pro-Kuhn, anti-Kuhn, or neutral.” If you are pro-Kuhn you would, for example, agree with his terms like normal science, revolutions, and paradigm shifts, and support that science is not a “long, progressive ascent toward truth.” If you are anti-Kuhn, then you would agree with critics like Israel Scheffler who claimed that Kuhn was an “irrationalist, subjectivist, relativist, and irrealist for denying that science gives us the objective truth about reality.” 
Are you pro-Kuhn, anti-Kuhn, or neutral? Why? Support your response with examples from our readings.
