Kuhn's Intellectual Path: Charting The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Autor K. Brad Wray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2023
Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions offers an insightful and engaging theory of science that speaks to scholars across many disciplines. Though initially widely misunderstood, it had a profound impact on the way intellectuals and educated laypeople thought about science. K. Brad Wray traces the influences on Kuhn as he wrote Structure, including his 'Aristotle epiphany', his interactions, and his studies of the history of chemistry. Wray then considers the impact of Structure on the social sciences, on the history of science, and on the philosophy of science, where the problem of theory change has set the terms of contemporary realism/anti-realism debates. He examines Kuhn's frustrations with the Strong Programme sociologists' appropriations of his views, and debunks several popular claims about what influenced Kuhn as he wrote Structure. His book is a rich and comprehensive assessment of one of the most influential works in the modern sciences.

Recenzii

'This is an enlightening book, both for Kuhn novices and for Kuhn professionals. Wray's judgment on contentious issues – of which there are many – is invariably balanced and fair. The book is equally well-researched and well-written; it is a delight to read.' Paul Hoyningen-Huene, Leibniz University Hannover
'a comprehensive, accessible, fair overview of Thomas Kuhn's work … Recommended.' D. B. Boersema, Choice Connect
'Wray has provided an important contribution both to the historical understanding of Kuhn's philosophy of science and to the understanding of the historical development of relations between philosophy and sociology of science in particular. The monograph may also prompt new conversa-tions about what different communities at different times have perceived as history and philosophy of science, and how we understand the emergence and development of crossover communities such as HOPOS or &HPS.' Hanne Andersen, Metascience
