The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
, one of the most important books of the twentieth century.
This book contains the text of Thomas S. Kuhn’s unfinished book,
The Plurality of Worlds: An Evolutionary Theory of Scientific Development
, which Kuhn himself described as a return to the central claims of
and the problems that it raised but did not resolve.
The Plurality of Worlds
is preceded by two related texts that Kuhn publicly delivered but never published in English: his paper “Scientific Knowledge as Historical Product” and his Shearman Memorial Lectures, “The Presence of Past Science.” An introduction by the editor describes the origins and structure of
and sheds light on its central philosophical problems.
Kuhn’s aims in his last writings are bold. He sets out to develop an empirically grounded theory of meaning that would allow him to make sense of both the possibility of historical understanding and the inevitability of incommensurability between past and present science. In his view, incommensurability is fully compatible with a robust notion of the real world that science investigates, the rationality of scientific change, and the idea that scientific development is progressive.
