摘要: Thomas S. Kuhn (1922–1996) exerted a strong force on intellectual discourse in the last third of 20th century, by publication book only 200 pages long. Why did Kuhn's publications his own primary field, history science, have so little impact that field? Was The Structure Scientific Revolutions successful accelerating trend toward social science internalist work seemed outmoded? wrote incisive articles wide range topics including Robert Boyle and structural chemistry, energy conservation as an example simultaneous discovery, Cagnard engine, historiography well Copernican Revolution; they are rarely cited historians science. His most important historical contribution later years was quantum theory; he led project to collect preserve source materials, published monograph origin hypothesis. does receive almost no recognition for remarkable physics? Does everyone still believe (in spite Kuhn) Planck introduced physical discontinuity 1900?
