Thomas Kuhn's shadow hangs over almost every field of intellectualinquiry. His book The Structure of Scientific Revolutionshas become a modern classic. His influence on philosophy, socialscience, historiography, feminism, theology, and (of course) thenatural sciences themselves is unparalleled. His epoch-makingconcepts of ?new paradigm? and ?scientificrevolution? make him probably the most influential scholar ofthe twentieth century. Sharrock and Read take the reader through Kuhn's work in acareful and accessible way, emphasizing Kuhn's detailed studies ofthe history of science, which often assist the understanding of hismore abstract philosophical work. These historical studies providevital insight into what Kuhn was actually trying to achieve in hisThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions: an endeavour farless extreme than either his ?foes? or his?fans? claim. In the book's second half, Sharrock andRead provide excellent explications, defences and, whereappropriate, criticisms of Kuhn's central concept of?incommensurability?, and tackle head on the crucialissue of whether Kuhn's insights concerning the natural sciencescan be extrapolated to other disciplines, such as the socialsciences. This is the first comprehensive introduction to the work ofKuhn and it will be of particular interest to students and scholarsin philosophy, theory of science, management science andanthropology.
