Scientific discoveries, that is, scientific revolutions lead to new paradigms.
<u>
Paradigm</u> is a model or standard to follow. It is a group's norms that set limits and determine how an individual should act within those limits.
The paradigm would be the set of linguistic elements that can occur in the same context or environment. The elements are replaced by others that will occupy the same position.
In philosophy, a paradigm is related to epistemology, and for Plato, a paradigm refers to a model related to the exemplary world of ideas, of which the sensitive world is part.
Anthropocentrism and Theocentrism are paradigms, Anthropocentrism had god as the center of everything, where he was responsible for all the events of the earth, when it came to the scientific discovery that the earth did not revolve around man but the sun, this paradigm fell apart and a new one was created, Theocentrism, which emphasizes the importance of man as a being endowed with intelligence and, therefore, free to carry out his actions in the world.
