'''Abstract:''' Thomas S. Kuhn suggested that scientists choose theories by widely shared values. In his shared values approach, scientists share the same list of values such as precision, coherence, broad scope, simplicity and fruitfulness, and each scientist chooses theories by the weighted-sum of the values of theories. Firstly, I show that the shared values approach provides a solution of the two problems of Kuhn’s early view: difficulty of disagreements and difficulty of agreements. Secondly, I interpret Kuhn’s theory choice as an action of pursuit, and analyse theory choice by decision theory. As a result I discover that some values for choosing theories are practical rather than epistemic. This discovery has a significance in that Kuhn’s radical view of science can be reconciled with the classical view of probability, value and decision.
