Theory of Social and Cognitive Paradigms

The theory that we see everything and understand reality through paradigms—frameworks of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that shape what we can see and how we interpret it. The Theory of Social and Cognitive Paradigms argues that this applies to everything, including the scientific method itself, which operates within its own paradigms that change over time. There is no paradigm-free perception, no view from nowhere. What we take to be "just the facts" is always facts-as-seen-through-a-particular-paradigm. The theory explains paradigm shifts in science (Kuhn), cultural differences in perception, and the persistence of disagreement even among reasonable people. It's the foundation of humility about knowledge, the recognition that our way of seeing is one among many.

Example: "He used to think science was just accumulating facts. The Theory of Social and Cognitive Paradigms showed him otherwise: facts were always facts-within-a-paradigm. When paradigms shifted, facts shifted too. Science wasn't a straight line; it was a series of revolutions, each with its own way of seeing."
