Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with a new index.
A landmark in intellectual history which has attracted attention far
beyond its own immediate field. . . . It is written with a combination
of depth and clarity that make it an almost unbroken series of
aphorisms. . . . Kuhn does not permit truth to be a criterion of
scientific theories, he would presumably not claim his own theory to be
true. But if causing a revolution is the hallmark of a superior
paradigm, this book] has been a resounding success. —Nicholas Wade,

Perhaps the best explanation of the] process of discovery. —William
Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review

work. —Ron Johnston, Times Higher Education Supplement
