About this product

Product Information

"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

  • Shedding a new light on Scientific Revolution

    First I want to say that I have NEVER seen the word paradigm used so many times before! I lost count... Aside from that I found the book a bit of a dry read, of course I was expecting that so was not really surprised. The author does succeed in showing the reader that in most cases 'Scientific Revolution' is not so revolutionary and that in most cases it is more of a procession than a single event. I purchased this text as a recommended auxiliary reading for a Physical Science class. The professor teaching the class offered an extra credit on the final grade for reading this book and taking a test over it. I am a 44 year old student and believe in getting every bit of extra credit I can... If you are in a situation such as mine, then I advise you to get some coffee and read the book. ...

  • Worth reading

    This text presents a powerful argument to help the reader understand the process of scientific discovery and how paradigms steer and skew research to evaluate ideas only consistent with the prominent paradigm. Although the author seems to present the same information over and over, it is worth reading from cover to cover. You will walk away from reading this text with a new theory in your mind relating to the effectivness of scientific discovery and the potential limitiations paradigms place on true discovery.

  • Great item. Well worth the time to read

    One of the five basic books to read.

    It's a good book by Kuhn. It's my second book by that author. I needed it in order to make a presentation in class. It was a good read. Peace, Nolan B
