he scientific ideas that probably had the most impact on postmodern theory was the thesis advanced by Thomas Kuhn to explain the evolution of scientific thought. In his groundbreaking book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Kuhn rejected the conventional idea that science progresses in a rational way, with each new discovery building on and expanding the ideas that preceded it. Instead, he proposed the history of science as a series of ruptures, or `paradigms', as he called them, which swept away the assumptions of the previous regimes.

Aimee Benedict It's interesting to think of postmodernism as being like Narcissus' reflection in the water, disintegrating when one grasps it because it is simultaneously saying postmodernism is both reproduction and reflection- both re- words. It reminds me of a song I can't remember which's lyrics-"the world's just a shadow of what went before; the world gives off none of its own light". its kind of a similar idea.
