Industry Reviews
"To its author's and everyone else's surprise, 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' proved to be the most influential English-language philosophy book of the last half-century. It sold the most copies, made the greatest difference to our ways of thinking, and was the subject of the most intense and complex debate. Kuhn's book marked the beginning of the end of logical empiricism."
New Republic - Richard Rorty (07/31/1995)

"...I really believe in Thomas Kuhn's 'The Structure of the Scientific Revolution'. When you are at a paradigmatic moment, one of the jobs of leadership at my level is to get into a vision of the next cycle."
Wired - Newt Gingrich (08/19/1995)

"Kuhn's core idea offers us a mental model of science as a culture, a community of discourse in which research is structured according to what is already widely agreed to be known about the world....This book should be required reading for scientists-in-training....It's also a good way to understand how the world is like a story."
Millennium Whole Earth Catalog - Howard L. Rheingold
