Description: About this productProduct 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 SupplementProduct IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of Chicago PressISBN-100226458075ISBN-139780226458076eBay Product ID (ePID)83772Product Key FeaturesFormatHardcoverPublication Year1996LanguageEnglishDimensionsWeight11.9 OzWidth5.2in.Height1.9in.Length8in.Additional Product FeaturesDewey Edition23Table of ContentPreface I: Introduction: A Role for History II: The Route to Normal Science III: The Nature of Normal Science IV: Normal Science as Puzzle-solving V: The Priority of Paradigms VI: Anomaly and the Emergence of Scientific Discoveries VII: Crisis and the Emergence of Scientific Theories VIII: The Response to Crisis IX: The Nature and Necessity of Scientific Revolutions X: Revolutions as Changes of World View XI: The Invisibility of Revolutions XII: The Resolutions of Revolutions XIII: Progress through Revolutions Postscript-1969 IndexDewey Decimal501Target AudienceScholarly & ProfessionalCopyright Date1996AuthorThomas S.
