A radical change in thinking from an accepted point of view to a new one, necessitated when new scientific discoveries produce anomalies in the current paradigm
A change in thinking that results in a new way of seeing and interpreting the world
(Ticaret) A complete change in thinking or belief systems that allows the creation of a new condition previously thought impossible or unacceptable. (ex.- the change in thinking created by Just-in-Time that views inventory as a liability, not an asset)
fundamental, even radical rethinking of what people believe to be true for a given body of knowledge
Phrase coined by Thomas Kuhn in his famous book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) Kuhn's idea is that scientific progress occurs, not by slow incremental accumulation alone, but also by occasional "revolutions," in which "an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one" (Kuhn, p 92) - a paradigm shift It refers to a group of people, or even a whole society, undergoing a change of world view, as for example from believing the earth was flat to believing the earth is round, or believing the sun and stars revolve around earth vs the earth revolving around the sun Biblical scholarship is often assumed to have undergone a paradigm shift from a diachronic to a synchronic worldview
When one conceptual world-view is replaced by another, or, a change of patterns on a massive scale When Copernicus showed how the Earth rotates around the Sun, and not vice versa, that created a paradigm shift [it forced a new way of thinking about our place in the Universe] And when quantum physics and general relativity displaced Newtonian mechanics, that created another shift Applied to an enabling technology such as molecular manufacturing, it suggests that there will be many shifts occurring, soon, and with wide-ranging and often disruptive consequences For more detail, see Accelerating Intelligence: Where Will Technology Lead Us? [by Ray Kurzweil]
an important change in which the usual way of thinking or doing something is replaced by another way of thinking or doing something
A quantum change in the development of something which can not be accounted for by simple evolutionary extensions but rather by a fundamental change in principles

1 A change in the well known typical example 2 Any major change in the generally accepted point of view
Refers to a shift in world views The so-called "new paradigm" (new model orform) is pantheistic (all is God) and monastic (all is one)
A complete change in thinking or belief systems that allows the creation of a new condition previously thought impossible or unacceptable (ex - the change in thinking created by Just-in-Time that views inventory as a liability, not an asset)
