Structure of Scientific Revolutions, The
Outline: With this book, the author challenged long-standing linera notions of scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas do not arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation, but that the revolutions in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of "normal science," as he called it. Though the author was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time is research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age. This new edition of the author's essential work in the history of science includes an insightful introduction by Ian Hacking, which clarifies terms popularized by the author, incluing paradigm and incommensurability, and applies the author's ideas to the science of today.
