Thomas Kuhn (1922-96) transformed the philosophy of science. His
seminal 1962 work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions"
introduced the term 'paradigm shift' into the vernacular and
remains a fundamental text in the study of the history and
philosophy of science. This introduction to Kuhn's ideas covers the
breadth of his philosophical work, situating "The Structure of
Scientific Revolutions" within Kuhn's wider thought and drawing
attention to the development of his ideas over time. Kuhn's work is
assessed within the context of other philosophies of science
notably logical empiricism and recent developments in naturalized
epistemology. The author argues that Kuhn's thinking betrays a
residual commitment to many theses characteristic of the
empiricists he set out to challenge. Kuhn's influence on the
history and philosophy of science is assessed and where the field
may be heading in the wake of Kuhn's ideas is explored.
