  • The Copernican Revolution: Thomas Kuhn (Jul 18, 1922-Jun 17, 1996)

    Here is this book that predates Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions." Kuhn attempts to analyze the nature of change regarding Heliocentric theories. More specifically the change from the ancient Ptomeic views to the more contemporary theories Corpernius develops. Kuhn in a sense preludes in this book his ideas of scientific revolutions, by suggesting that the ancient Greek view was genuinely scientific in nature and that Copernicus revolutionized the theory and transformed it.
  • The Structure of Scientific Revolutions: Thomas Kuhn (Jul 18, 1922-Jun 17, 1996)

He suggests in his 1962 book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," that, unlike the traditional view that science is a linear affair in which each scientific breakthrough builds upon the proceeding view, each scientific is a dramatic revolution, that radically changes the way any particular scientific theory succeeds.
