The study of how entire frameworks of scientific thought emerge, stabilize, and eventually collapse—and how the psychology of scientists shapes these processes. Paradigms aren't just sets of theories; they're ways of seeing, communities of belief, and sources of identity. The psychology of paradigms examines why scientists resist revolutionary ideas (cognitive conservatism, career investment, social pressure), how paradigms shift despite resistance (anomalies accumulate, young scientists defect, the old guard retires), and what it feels like to live through a scientific revolution (exhilarating for the victors, [devastating] for the vanquished). [Understanding] this psychology reveals that science progresses not despite human nature but through it—through passion, stubbornness, [competition], and the eventual triumph of evidence over ego.
