Here once more are new koganbot threads that got new comments in the last three days (scads and scads on the Kuhn 6 RESTARTED thread as I go slowly through the thorough inventory of modeling, resemblance, similarity etc. that Mark did for "What Are Scientific Revolutions?"). Chronologically:
Kuhn 7: All New Freewheeling Dance-In-The-Sky Kuhn C&Q Thread

Kuhn 6 RESTARTED: Dick And Jane Examine Paradigms
As I said, scads and scads on the last one, the theme of resemblance as it snakes its way through Kuhn's prose. Me: "Seeing similarities and recasting similarities is a good deal of what Kuhn's essay is about. And if all goes well two questions were bubbling up while you were reading it: (a) how does one see similarities, and (b) why is the notion of similarity so important to Kuhn? What problem is the notion of similarity meant to address and what ideas is that notion meant to replace? ('Similarity,' 'resemblance,' whatever term we want to use here.)"
