Explanation / Answer

Question 4- True- Subjective differences in ranking and applying epistemic values do not vanish, a point Kuhn made emphatically. This is also one of the reasons for using the term “value” rather than “rule”: the assessment of a scientific theory rather corresponds to a judgment where different criteria are carefully weighed than to the mechanic application of a rule or algorithm to determine the best theory.

Question 5- True- Contextual values are restricted to a matter of individual psychology that may influence the discovery, development and proliferation of a scientific theory, but not its epistemic status.

Qusetion 6- True. According to Kuhn our own sense data are shaped and structured by a theoretical framework, and may be fundamentally distinct from the sense data of scientists working in another one. Where a Ptolemaic astronomer like Tycho Brahe sees a sun setting behind the horizon, a Copernican astronomer like Johannes Kepler sees the horizon moving up to a stationary sun. If this picture is correct, then it is hard to assess which theory or paradigm is more faithful to the facts, that is, more objective.
