What he intended to do to is essentially propose a \u2018third way\u2019 of reading The Structure to arrive at an understanding of Kuhn\u2019s re-visioning of older historical models of viewing scientific process and progress, as well as ambiguities it is accused of.\t\t<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7bde48a\" href='https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.41.png'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.41-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7bde48a\" href='https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47.png'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>","excerpt":"<p>Dr. Syed Manzoorul Islam is Professor of English at the University of Dhaka, and an award winning fiction writer.<\/p>","slug":"in-conversation-with-dr-syed-manzoorul-islam-thomas-kuhns-the-structure-of-scientific-revolution-chaired-by-aprof-paul-macary","image":{"url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47.png","id":2298,"extension":"png","width":788,"height":530,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47-150x150.png"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":202,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47-300x202.png"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":517,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47-768x517.png"},"fw-people-thumb":{"width":327,"height":220,"mime-type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47-327x220.png"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2013-02-01 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2013","month":"02","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2013-02-01 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2013","month":"02","day":"01","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2013-02-01 00:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2013","month":"02","day":"01","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2013-02-01 23:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2013","month":"02","day":"01","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"UTC+0","timezone_abbr":"UTC+0","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":true,"featured":true,"categories":[{"name":"2013","slug":"2013","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":21,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":31,"filter":"raw","id":21,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/21","collection":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}},{"name":"Masters Tea","slug":"masters-tea","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":17,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":71,"filter":"raw","id":17,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/17","collection":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"\u2018IN CONVERSATION\u2019 with Dr Syed Manzoorul Islam \u2013 \u201cThomas Kuhn\u2019s The Structure of Scientific Revolution\u201d (chaired by A\/Prof Paul MacAry)","description":"&lt;p&gt;Dr. Syed Manzoorul Islam is Professor of English at the University of Dhaka, and an award winning fiction writer.&lt;\/p&gt;\\n","image":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-02-at-17.09.47.png","url":"https:\/\/capt.nus.edu.sg\/events-highlights\/in-conversation-with-dr-syed-manzoorul-islam-thomas-kuhns-the-structure-of-scientific-revolution-chaired-by-aprof-paul-macary\/","eventAttendanceMode":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus":"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled","startDate":"2013-02-01T00:00:00+00:00","endDate":"2013-02-01T23:59:59+00:00","performer":"Organization"}}
