The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions

Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index. A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior paradigm, [this book] has been a resounding success . --Nicholas Wade, Science Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery . --William Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience. . . . Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions . . . has clearly emerged as just such a work . --Ron Johnston, Times Higher Education Supplement Among the most influential academic books in this century . -- Choice --One of The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War , Times Literary Supplement Thomas S. Kuhn was the Laurence Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His books include The Essential Tension; Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912; and The Copernican Revolution .
