科学革命的结构

简介

Kuhn’s book appeared in 1962 as a volume of the International Encyclopedia of Unified Science, a series founded by members of the Vienna Circle – an irony often noted, since it undermined their picture of science. Drawing on the history of physics and chemistry, from Copernicus to Lavoisier and Einstein, Kuhn describes how scientific communities are held together by shared exemplars and how revolutions change what counts as a problem and a solution. The concept of paradigm was criticised as vague; in a postscript to the second edition (1970) he distinguished a “disciplinary matrix” from exemplary achievements. His debate with Popper and his followers in London in 1965 was published in Criticism and the Growth of Knowledge (1970).
