In 1962, the publication of Thomas Kuhn's Structure
'revolutionized' the way one conducts philosophical and historical
studies of science. Through the introduction of both memorable and
controversial notions, such as paradigms, scientific revolutions,
and incommensurability, Kuhn argued against the traditionally
accepted notion of scientific change as a progression towards the
truth about nature, and instead substituted the idea that science
is a puzzle solving activity, operating under paradigms, which
become discarded after it fails to respond accordingly to anomalous
challenges and a rival paradigm. Kuhn's Structure has sold over 1.4
million copies and the Times Literary Supplement named it one of
the "Hundred Most Influential Books since the Second World War."
Now, fifty years after this groundbreaking work was published, this
volume offers a timely reappraisal of the legacy of Kuhn's book and
an investigation into what Structure offers philosophical,
historical, and sociological studies of science in the future.
