The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Thomas Kuhn

For a long time it was believed that science developed incrementally, by the accumulation of individual inventions and discoveries. However, in 1962, American philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn demonstrated that rather than developing in a linear and continuous way, science progresses through periodic “paradigm shifts,” a phrase he invented. His landmark study, “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” is still as controversial as when it was first published.
