Thomas Kuhn, an eminent historian and philosopher of science, is known for calling the process of replacing one paradigm with another a "scientific revolution" in his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions."

The Western Environmental Paradigm is a framework that reflects the beliefs and values of Western societies regarding the environment and human-nature relationships. It emphasizes the distinction between humans and nature, often viewing nature as a resource to be exploited for economic growth and development.
