Kuhn, Thomas S. (Samuel), 1922-1996
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
Publisher: Univerity of Chicago Press, [1987].
xii, 210 p. 23 cm. First published in 1962, and revised in 1970, this book and its concept of paradigms being shattered was exciting stuff when it came out. I certainly used it for a lecture I gave on medicine in 15th century Florence. It was a great book for making intellectual breakthroughs explainable. Stock# 30,871x. Fine/ wrapper. Another copy. RBL. Another copy. Worn, heavily underlined (how can you underline a book like this?) $2.50.
