Considered one of "The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War" by The Times Literary Supplement, Thomas S. Kuhn's classic book is now available with an 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, Science
"Perhaps the best explanation of [the] process of discovery."
- William Erwin Thompson, New York Times Book Review
"Any work hailed as 'a landmark in intellectual history' must, to make such a claim, appeal to intelligences of varied casts and backgrounds. This work... passes that test. Any reasonable well-educated person, scientist or not, will vibrate to Kuhn's intricate argument."
- Clifton Fadiman, Science Digest
"Occasionally there emerges a book which has an influence far beyond its originally intended audience.... Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions... has clearly emerged as just such a work."
- Ron Johnston, Times Higher Education Supplement
