Emphasize the role of scientists as human beings

Reference no: EM133673524

Kuhn describes the history of science in terms that emphasize the role of scientists as human beings. At times, human quirks influence the course of science on Kuhn's view. At the same time, he thought of science as a rational pursuit of (some sort of) truth. Does Kuhn's account go against the idea of science as an objective pursuit of truth, or can the two be reconciled?
