Publisher Comments

Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index.

"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 Supplement

Thomas S. Kuhn was the Laurence Rockefeller Professor Emeritus of

linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

His books include The Essential Tension; Black-Body Theory and the

Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912; and The Copernican

Revolution.
