IN HIS BOOK, THE STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS, THOMAS KUHN USES THE CONCEPT OF A PARADIGM SHIFT TO EXPLAIN THE HISTORICALLY CONTINGENT NATURE OF ALL KNOWLEDGE. HOW DO OTHER READINGS FROM THIS CLASS ESSENTIALLY ARGUE THE SAME POINT? WHY IS IT THAT 20th-CENTURY INTELLECTUALS HAVE QUESTIONED NOT ONLY WHAT WE KNOW BUT OUR VERY CAPACITY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE KNOW? WESTERN CULTURE BASES MUCH OF ITS SUPERIORITY ON THE IDEA OF OBJECTIVITY, SO HOW MIGHT THE DECONSTRUCTION OF THOUGhT BE VIEWED AS THE THEORETICAL COUNTERPART TO ANTI-IMPERIALISM AND THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS?
