Description:
Four letters by Paul Feyerabend to Thomas Kuhn from the 1950s and 60s were found in Kuhn's Nachlass at the Institute Archives and Special Collections of MIT. Two of them deal with topics that were at centre stage of the controversy between the two authors that was ignited by Feyerabend's reading of Proto-Structure, the draft version of Kuhn's The structure of scientific revolutions. These letters are reprinted here. They are probably the continuation of two letters by Paul Feyerabend to Thomas S. Kuhn formerly published in this journal (Hoyningen-Huene, 1995). ... Read more

Product Description
Vor über 40 Jahren erschütterte Kuhns "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" die bislang gängigen Vorstellungen von Wissenschaft und ihrer Rationalität. Mit dem Paradigma tauchte ein neuer Schlüsselbegriff auf, der sich auf kognitive und soziale Charakteristika wissenschaftlichen Handelns bezog, und dabei trat die Scientific Community als höchste legitimierende Instanz in Erscheinung. Neben der heftigen Kritik von Seiten der Wissenschaftsphilosophie, erfuhr das Konzept äußerst positives Echo bei den Sozialwissenschaften, die sich folglich auf die Suche nach sozialwissenschaftlichen Paradigmen machten. Fragen zur prinzipiellen Anwendbarkeit des Paradigmenkonzeptes, das Kuhn ursprünglich auf "sciences" bezog, wurden dabei entweder ausgeklammert oder durch Refomulierungen der zentralen Terminologie umgangen. Bis heute werden Paradigmen mit explizitem Verweis auf Kuhns Intentionen verkündet. Meist handelt es sich dabei aber um den Versuch, die Wissenschaftlichkeit, Reife oder Rationalität des eigenen Gebietes zu untermauern. ... Read more

why science isn't so scientific
A long-lost, terrific insight - from a respected scientist no less - of the ways in which so-called "objective" science really works. Which, I have to point out, doesn't make it any less effective. This is a great way to explore the inner workings of laboratories, science journals, and the worlds of research and academia. Warning: the language is a bit puffed up and can be hard to slog through at times. The guy WAS a scientist, after all, and it was translated from the German.

A Truly Original, Thought-Changing Work
I first read Genesis & Development of A Scientific Fact while I was a graduate student at New York University.While the work was admittedly a challenging one, it was, without doubt, one of the most truly original, thought-changing works I've ever read.Fleck was, in my opinion, a true visionary who forwarded an extremely provactive thesis about the origin of scientific "facts."Fleck's monograph is high on my short list of "must read" intellectual works.Other similar works worth reading include: Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, and Giambattista Vico, The New Science.

Scientific facts: constructed, not discovered?
If you thought scientific knowledge was clear, objective, and unbiased, but fortunately became enlightened by your readings of Kuhn, think again!! Rediscovered by Kuhn himself, Fleck exposes in a brief, very-wellillustrated monogrpah, how facts -such as the apparently objectiveWassermann reaction for syphilis- are constructed, not passivelydiscovered. From medieval magic to modern medicine, the concept of syphilishas been transformed. I urge you to read Fleck's work and evaluate foryourself why he anticipated his time. Enjoy!

A truly original and groundbreaking work--mandatory reading.
I first encountered Fleck's work while I was a doctoral student at NYU.The clarity and orginality of his thoughts completely captivated me.This work is truly one which has changed my life and my way of thinking.Fleck was indeed a pioneer and prophet--I continually re-read "Genesis & Development of A Scientific Fact," each time gaining greater insight and appreciation for its depth and scope.Fleck's monograph is truly an original and groundbreaking tour de force--mandatory reading from a true (but sadly overlooked) genious. ...

Product Description
La influencia que ha ejercido el pensamiento de Thomas S Kuhn no se limita a lo que podriamos llamar la sociologia de la ciencia: sus contribuciones han determinado cambios incluso en el modo de considerar la historia y las ciencias sociales. "La estructura de las recoluciones cientificas" es, sin duda, uno de esos libros que modifican un contexto y una atmosfera culturales: Kuhn consiguio, con esa obra, centrar un debate y ampliar las perspectivas de la discusion; los catorce ensayos de "La tension esencial" prosiguen esa ardua tarea en la depuracion de terminos de lo que constituye la tradicion cientifica. ...
