Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions has sold more than one million copies since its publication in 1962, is one of the most cited academic books of all time, and continues to be read and studied today. This volume of new essays evaluates the significance of Kuhn's classic book in its changing historical context, including its initial reception and its lasting effects. The essays explore the range of ideas which Kuhn made popular with his influential philosophy of science, including paradigms, normal science, paradigm changes, scientific revolutions, and incommensurability; and they also look at less-studied themes in his work, including scientific measurement, science education, and science textbooks. Drawing on the latest scholarship as well as unpublished material in the Thomas Kuhn Archives at MIT, this volume offers a comprehensive way into Kuhn's philosophy and demonstrates the continuing relevance of his ideas for our understanding of science.

"This book uses the philosophy of Thomas Kuhn to provide a new vision of the development of European comparative law that will challenge and inspire scholars in the field. With the 'empathic' use of some ideas from Kuhn's theories on the history of science - paradigm, paradigm-shift, puzzle-solving research and incommensurability - the book rethinks the modern history of European comparative law from the late 19th century to the modern day. It argues that three major paradigms determine modern comparative law: - historical and comparative jurisprudence, - droit comparé, and - post-World War II comparative law. It concludes that contemporary methodological trends are not signs of a paradigm-shift toward a postmodern and culturalist understanding of comparative law, but that the new approach spreads the idea of methodological plurality"--

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.
