Book/The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
After more than half of a century, the book: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions[1] by Thomas Kuhn is ever more relevant to the modern civilization. If we relate the notion of science, to rigorous use of curated data or evidence, then, the book could be named to be The Structure of Data Revolutions. This clearly will show its relevance in the 21st century. The book also has many translated versions[2].
I. A Role for History
The summarizing sentence of this chapter, and the inspiration of this book:
"How could history of science fail to be a source of phenomena to which theories about knowledge may legitimately be asked to apply?"
II. The Route to Normal Science
How do scientific theories mature into normal science?
III. The Nature of Normal Science
In the end of Chapter 3, Kuhn stated the three classes of problems in making normal sciences:
- determination of significant fact,
- matching of facts with theory, and
- articulation of theory
IV. Normal Science as Puzzle Solving
V. The Priority of Paradigms
VI. The Priority of Paradigms
VII. The Priority of Paradigms
VIII. The Priority of Paradigms
IX. The Priority of Paradigms
X. The Priority of Paradigms
XI. The Priority of Paradigms
XII. The Resolution of Revolutions
XIII. Progress through Revolutions
