Thomas S. Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was a watershed event when it was published in 1962, upending the previous understanding of science as a slow, logical accumulation of facts and introducing, with the concept of the "paradigm shift," social and psychological considerations into the heart of the scientific process. More than fifty years after its publication, Kuhn's work continues to influence thinkers in a wide range of fields, including scientists, historians, and sociologists. It is clear that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions itself marks no less of a paradigm shift than those it describes. In Kuhn's "Structure of Scientific Revolutions" at Fifty, leading social scientists and philosophers explore the origins of Kuhn's masterwork and its legacy fifty years on. These essays exhume important historical context for Kuhn's work, critically analyzing its foundations in twentieth-century science, politics, and Kuhn's own intellectual biography: his experiences as a physics graduate student, his close relationship with psychologists before and after the publication of Structure, and the Cold War framework of terms such as "world view" and "paradigm."

More than 50 years after the publication of Thomas Kuhn's seminal book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, this volume assesses the adequacy of the Kuhnian model in explaining certain aspects of science, particularly the social and epistemic aspects of science. One argument put forward is that there are no good reasons to accept Kunh's incommensurability thesis, according to which scientific revolutions involve the replacement of theories with conceptually incompatible ones. Perhaps, therefore, it is time for another "decisive transformation in the image of science by which we are now possessed." Only this time, the image of science that needs to be transformed is the Kuhnian one. Does the Kuhnian image of science provide an adequate model of scientific practice? If we abandon the Kuhnian picture of revolutionary change and incommensurability, what consequences would follow from that vis-à-vis our understanding of scientific knowledge as a social endeavour? The essays in this collection continue this debate, offering a critical examination of the arguments for and against the Kuhnian image of science as well as their implications for our understanding of science as a social and epistemic enterprise.

Paru en 1962 en langue originale, "La Structure des révolutions scientifiques" est devenu un classique de l'histoire des sciences. L'auteur met l'accent sur les bouleversements de la pensée scientifique (Copernic, Newton, Lavoisier, Einstein...), et étudie ces moments de crise que traverse la science au cours de son évolution : il y a révolution scientifique lorsqu'une théorie scientifique consacrée par le temps est rejetée au profit d'une nouvelle théorie. Cette substitution amène généralement un déplacement des problèmes offerts à la recherche et des critères selon lesquels les spécialistes décident de ce qui doit compter comme problème ou solution. Que toute révolution scientifique soit un facteur de progrès, c'est ce que démontre l'auteur après avoir signalé les conditions requises pour l'apparition d'une telle crise. Chacune de ces révolutions, en fin de compte, transforme non seulement l'imagination scientifique mais aussi le monde dans lequel s'effectue ce travail scientifique.
