The influence of Kuhn is felt during the remainder of the century. His idea of paradigm shifts does not change anymore. Changed brains give rise to new 'sense of reality' so BEHAVIOR does change. All the wise men, with exeption of Marcuse, share a kind of dullness, because seen through common sense eyes they pretend immaterial 'spirituality'. Through their 'spritual' writings we don't learn anything about their further BEHAVIOR.
