The Road Since Structure , assembled with Kuhn's input before his death in 1996, follows the development of his thought through the later years of his life: collected here are several essays extending and rethinking the perspectives of Structure as well as an extensive, fascinating autobiographical interview in which Kuhn discusses the course of his life and philosophy. "The essays fall into three groups, each arranged chronologically. The first shows the development of Kuhn's thought from 1980 through 1990, the second consists of his responses to criticisms of other philosophers, the last is a candid, highly interesting and informative interview Kuhn did a year before his death. . . . His work is central to the question of the relation of science and culture." Library Journal "It's sometimes claimed that Kuhn toned down his radical views after Structure , but this is a mistake. He did occasionally repudiate earlier ideas, but the bulk of his later work is a significant articulation and defense of his fundamental views, not a retraction. . . .

Horus Gets In Gear Beginner's Guide to Research in the History of Science Bottom of Page Master Contents Horus Publications Rest in Peace, Thomas S. Kuhn, 1922 -1996 Thomas Kuhn's Theory of Scientific Revolutions Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions has been by far the most important and influential theory of the history of science since its publication in 1962. Kuhn's theory wholly revised the framework of debate among professional historians of science. It displaced, even if it did not immediately vanquish, the positivistic interpretation of science as the basic understanding of science. It destroyed the philosophy of science as a valid scholarly undertaking. It opened pathways for historians to utilize the work of anthropologists and sociologists in studying the history of science. It provided a suite of critical methodologies for historians to challenge scientists' own accounts of their work. Kuhn distinguished between two kinds of science - normal science and crisis (or revolutionary) science. Normal science is science pursued by a community of scientists who share a paradigm. Revolutionary science is not. A paradigm is a consensus among a community of practicing scientists about certain concrete solutions - called "exemplars" - to central problems of their field. Their consensus is based on commitment to the paradigm. The commitment is derived from their training and their values; it is not the result of critical testing of the paradigm. Normal science is intellectually isolated from "outside" influences, including the paradigms of other scientific fields and nonscientific events and values. Commitment to their paradigm gives a powerful "normality" to the paradigm, enabling scientists to disregard phenomena that appear to contradict it-"anomalies."

Kuhn, Thomas S. Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922) was educated at Harvard as a physicist. He has been Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1983. Although he has done theoretical work in physics, his reputation is as a historian and philosopher of science whose most influential work is The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Kuhn's importance to the practice of literary criticism is tangential but of genuine interest and significance. For the most part, he is invoked in literary contexts in connection with the term "paradigm," a term he, in turn, borrowed from linguistics and prosody. In The Structure of Scientific Revolutions he defined "paradigms" as "accepted examples of actual scientific practiceexamples which include law, theory, application, and instrumentation together[that] provide models from which spring particular coherent traditions of scientific research" (10). The essence of his argumenta highly radical and controversial one within the history of scienceis that the natural sciences are typically governed by such a paradigm for lengthy periods and that scientific development tends to be a sudden global theoretical and intellectual change, which he calls a "paradigm shift." Examples of such shifts are the changes that followed such paradigmatic achievements as Aristotle's Physica

28. Thomas S. Kuhn, The Culture War And The Idea Of Secession thomas S. kuhn, the Culture War and the Idea of Secession. by StevenYates. I. Secession is an uncomfortable topic. Most Americans http://www.lewrockwell.com/yates/yates21.html

Thomas S. Kuhn, the Culture War and the Idea of Secession by Steven Yates I. It wasn’t always like this. Our Declaration of Independence was, after all, a declaration of secession from the British Empire. "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal status to which the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to that separation." This couldn’t be clearer. Our country resulted from a secession. Moreover, the new republic, once established, was hardly as stable, initially, as today’s history books suggest. Secession was threatened a number of times during its first 70 years by states or groups of states both Northern and Southern on various pretexts. Of course, the War for Southern Independence changed everything. Not only was secession never again threatened, but those pre-War threats were purged from the history books. They can be found today only in independently published and distributed works such as that of the Kennedy brothers’ The South Was Right II.

Kuhn, Thomas S. US historian and philosopher of science, who showed that social and cultural conditions affect the directions of science. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions 1962 argued that even scientific knowledge is relative, dependent on the paradigm (theoretical framework) that dominates a scientific field at the time. Such paradigms (for example, Darwinism and Newtonian theory) are so dominant that they are uncritically accepted as true, until a 'scientific revolution' creates a new orthodoxy. Kuhn's ideas have also influenced ideas in the social sciences.

Thomas S. Kuhn The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Daniel P. Moloney Hailed by the poststructuralist left, wielded by feminists and fundamentalists alike, and hated by most practitioners of the field it purports to explain, Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is perhaps the single most important work on the nature of rationality since Descartes’ Meditations To support this assertion, a little background. In the years immediately following World War II, most philosophers of science were logical positivists who believed that science involved two stages: first empirical research, then logical analysis of the results. Experimental science provided the raw data, while philosophers analyzed that data and clarified the theories used to explain it. Any statement that could not be verified by science—"The universe has a first cause" or "God is infinitely wise," for example—these philosophers considered meaningless. Only by rigorous conceptual analysis and the rooting out of all unverifiable statements could scientists achieve certainty. In the late 1940s, Kuhn, then a doctoral student in physics at Harvard, was asked to teach a course introducing nonscientists to the practices of science. As he later wrote, "To my complete surprise, that exposure to out–of–date scientific theory and practice radically undermined some of my basic conceptions about the nature of science and the reasons for its special success." As a result, Kuhn turned his attention to the history of scientific revolutions—those times when one widely held scientific theory is challenged on a fundamental level by another and eventually replaced. The best–known revolutions are associated with Copernicus, Newton, and Einstein in physics, but equally fundamental revolutions occurred with Lavoisier in chemistry, Maxwell in electromagnetism, and Planck in atomic theory, among others. Kuhn’s studies revealed that at the time these revolutionary theories were proposed, there was no rational way to determine which theory was correct.

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Thomas S. Kuhn Review date: 26/6/2002 Publisher: University of Chicago Press, 1996 Published: 1962 Of the thousands of books written about science during the twentieth century, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is the one which has caused the most controversy. It is a famous account of how (in Kuhn's opinion) science actually works, as opposed to the way in which scientists think that they work, and it acts as a summary of Kuhn's ideas; much of the rest of his writing is basically a series of historical case studies which back up and illustrate this summary. The general view of science is that it proceeds by accretion, new facts gradually allowing theory to become a closer approximation to reality. Kuhn proposed a different model: a generally accepted paradigm determines not just what questions are investigated but how facts are perceived by scientists. However, anomalies appear and grow in importance, until a period of confusion is ended by a revolution which establishes a new paradigm. The main reason that this is controversial is basically that it seems to make science a matter of opinion rather than fact, especially because of what Kuhn says about the way that the facts change or appear to change when the current paradigm changes. Summaries of Kuhn's arguments tend to make what he says more alarming than it actually is, and I found
