Kuhn: Thesis: No sharp distinction between observation and theory - is not deductive, concepts are not precise.
>Observation.
KuhnVsPopper: context of justification is inseparable from the context of discovery.
>Justification, >Discoveries.

Kuhn I 22
Theory/Fact/Kuhn: scientific fact and scientific theory cannot be separated strictly.
I 94
Theory/Proof/Kuhn: Applications are not proof of the validity of a theory.
>Proof, >Validity.
I 111
New Theory/Special case/Kuhn: arguing that the old theory is a special case of the new, any old theory could be immunized against criticism. - A new theory does not have to include the old. - Can Newton be deduced from Einstein then?
Substituting the parameters of Einstein in other equations, they are still Einstein's space, time and mass! - Mass/Newton: remains. - Mass/Einstein: is convertible into energy.
Newton's laws are not a special case of Einstein's because the fundamental structural elements change as well.
I 116
In order to be considered a special case, the old theory must be transformed.
>Theory change, >Paradigms/Kuhn.},
