{"product_id":"thomas-kuhn-and-scientific-progression-von-kennedy-onkware","title":"Thomas Kuhn and Scientific Progression","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his work, The Structure of Scientific  Revolutions (1962), Kuhn attempts at a correct  empirical description of science as it is  practiced. In the said work, Kuhn argues that  science does not progress cumulatively but by what  he calls \"Scientific revolutions.\" Many critics and  commentators have found Kuhn¿s account of science  implausible. Amongst his critics, we can mention  Karl Popper, Allan Musgrave, Larry Laudan and Imre  Lakatos. All these critics are in agreement that  Kuhn¿s account of science may not only be  relativistic but it may also lead to scientific  irrationalism. Kuhn defends his position in his  later work, The Essential Tension (1977). This  work is aimed at showing that Kuhn defends what  cannot be found in his work, The Structure of  Scientific Revolutions (1962). In this respect, we  show that Kuhn¿s account of science is  scientifically irrational and that, contrary to  Kuhn¿s claim that science progresses by  revolutions, science progresses cumulatively. This  work targets scholars of philosophy and the social  sciences at large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838372624\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInvestigation on Kuhn''s account of how science progresses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838372624","offer_id":39498942087261,"sku":"9783838372624","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/6c1d5a67-6b1c-4e24-9ee4-d04a1d96f0b0.jpg?v=1776054958","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/thomas-kuhn-and-scientific-progression-von-kennedy-onkware","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
