Thomas Samuel Kuhn

Period: Jul 18, 1922 to Jun 17, 1996

Kuhn focused on paradigm shifts and how these shifts would cause a scientific revolution of sorts, leading scientists to focus on the new theory ex: before germ theory became prevalent, common theory was miasma theory which disease was spread mainly through bad air, as we know now it is an incomplete theory.
