## TL;DR

Philosophy of science asks how scientific knowledge develops, changes, and earns authority. This short entry is low confidence because it is anchored to one Kuhn source and therefore focuses on paradigms and scientific revolutions.

## Core Explanation

Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a central source for terms such as normal science, anomaly, paradigm, and scientific revolution. A source-mapped introduction can explain that scientific change may involve shifts in the framework through which researchers define problems and evaluate solutions.

This article avoids treating Kuhn as a source for every philosophy-of-science topic. Popper's falsifiability, scientific realism, instrumentalism, and modern reproducibility debates need separate sources.
