Re:Thomas Kuhn changed the way the world looked at science (... by leephillips on Saturday September 05, 2015 @06:46PM (#10176282)
Kuhn's really great book is The Copernican Revolution. He was a uniquely insightful historian of science. It's amusing that he took some lessons from the history of science, well known to scholars in that field, simplified and distilled them to the point where even academic philosophers of science could understand them, wrote a short book consisting largely of multiple repetitions of these ideas, and it is this book that made him a superstar among undergraduates and philosophers. Well, good for him.
