Thomas Kuhn
This new biography of Thomas S. Kuhn pays attention to the continuous development of his ideas. Mayoral provides a comprehensive overview of Kuhn's life and work. The book explores how Kuhn’s theory develops from its beginnings at Harvard University in the early 1950s through the early 1990s at the MIT and also describes Kuhn's parallel lifetime. Between those decades (1950s and 1990s), Kuhn went through different academic institutions, obtained a high status as a public intellectual, and shifted from the history of science to the philosophy of science (and back) as his main research target. All of this left a trace in his philosophical view of science, enriching and changing it since his early training as a theoretical physicist. In this book, Kuhn is considered as an intellectual in evolution, and his contributions are assessed against the backdrop of the different contexts that he traversed. Therefore, there shall not be a static figure of this intellectual, as there shall not be a

The Last Writings of Thomas S. Kuhn
A must-read follow-up to The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, one of the most important books of the twentieth century. This book contains the text of Thomas S. Kuhn’s unfinished book, The Plurality of Worlds: An Evolutionary Theory of Scientific Development, which Kuhn himself described as a return to the central claims of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and the problems that it raised but did not resolve. The Plurality of Worlds is preceded by two related texts that Kuhn publicly delivered but never published in English: his paper “Scientific Knowledge as Historical Product” and his Shearman Memorial Lectures, “The Presence of Past Science.” An introduction by the editor describes the origins and structure of The Plurality of Worlds and sheds light on its central philosophical problems. Kuhn’s aims in his last writings are bold. He sets out to develop an empirically grounded theory of meaning that would allow him to make sense of both the possibility of historical

Vetenskapliga Revolutioners Struktur
Ingen bok har haft större inflytande på vår förståelse av den vetenskapliga utvecklingen än Thomas S. Kuhns Vetenskapliga revolutioners struktur (1962), men det är också en bok som ändrade vår syn på oss själva, och till exempel gav oss begreppet paradigm. Denna utgåva inleds med en essä av vetenskapsfilosofen Ian Hacking, som diskuterar bokens aktualitet och går igenom nyckelbegrepp som paradigm, kris, revolution och anomali. Ny översättning av Jim Jakobsson.

Kuhn's Legacy
Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the most important books of the twentieth century. Its influence reaches far beyond the philosophy of science, and its key terms, such as 'paradigm shift,' 'normal science,' and 'incommensurability,' are now used in both academic and public discourse without any reference to Kuhn. However, Kuhn's philosophy is still often misunderstood and underappreciated. In Kuhn's Legacy, Bojana Mladenovic offers a novel analysis of Kuhn's central philosophical project, focusing on his post-Structure writings. Mladenovic argues that Kuhn's historicism was always coupled with a firm and consistent antirelativism but only in his mature writings did he begin to develop a systematic account of scientific rationality. She reconstructs and develops this account, arguing that Kuhn sees the rationality of science as collective. At the purely formal level, Kuhn's conception of scientific rationality prohibits obviously irrational beliefs and

Genom Thomas lyckas Anna Höglund humoristiskt fånga in vår tekniktäta tidsålder på några få sidor. - Gunilla Brodrej, Expressenjag skrattade så tårarna trillade när jag läste den - Ingalill Mosander, AftonbladetDet här är Thomas. Thomas har en gul skjorta och blå byxor. Han har också en mobiltelefon som är smart. Och en liten bil. Det är en röd liten bil. Faktum är att Thomas har massor av saker. De går att använda i en mängd olika situationer, och ibland också samtidigt. Till slut blir Thomas trött. Vilken tur att han har en soffa att ta en tupplur i! En vit soffa.Thomas är en bok om saker som omger oss, och vårt förhållande till dem. Med utgångspunkt i Grete Janus och Morgan Hertz klassiska småbarnsbok Nalle från 50-talet berättar Anna Höglund om livet idag och vår konsumtion.
