This strategy of " whiggish " " justification afterwards " fell under many animadversions , however it was thomas kuhn who really aroused the crisis of rationality of science . in his epoch - making the structure of scientific r evolutions , kuhn develops his view around " paradigm " , and introduces the relativity of history and concept into the understanding of science , thereby breaks the separated state of " discovery " and " justification " 这种“辉格式”的“事后辩护”的策略受到了众多批判,但是真正引发科学合理性危机的是哲学家托马斯?库恩,他在那本划时代著作《科学革命的结构》中,以范式为中心展开其观点,将历史和概念的相对性引入了对科学的理解,从而打破了“发现”与“辩护”的分离状态。
