» 17 plus Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. A key text in the history of philosophy of science, it has impacted greatly our thinking and policy. In some ways, Kuhn offers a liberating view in which the benefits of transformative technological change are sudden, of high impact and diffuse. In other ways, there is a sense of inevitability of the process and a sense that the force of technological change was something beyond the actors involved. I recommend reading this but not stopping here and after looking at a broader history of science text.
The lasting value of Kuhn’s thesis in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that it reminds us that any science, however apparently purified of the taint of philosophical speculation, is nevertheless embedded in a philosophical framework — and that the great success of physics and biology is due not to their actual independence from philosophy but rather to physicists’ and biologists’ dismissal of it. Those who are inclined to take this dismissal as meaning that philosophy is dead altogether, or has been replaced by science, will do well to recognize the force by which Kuhn’s thesis opposes this stance: History has repeatedly demonstrated that periods of progress in normal science — when philosophy seems to be moot — may be long and steady, but they lead to a time when non-scientific, philosophical questions again become paramount. ... Kuhn deserves the respect of the rigorous criticism that has come his way. It is fitting that his provocative thesis has faced blistering scrutiny — and remarkable that it has survived to instruct and vex us five decades later.

In any case, it was a serendipitous thing all around; not only did I enjoy the class, this book left a strong imprint on me too. It's one of the few nonfiction books from my college years that I've kept on my dusty shelves. (Sorry, Calculus, you may be useful but you're just not much fun.) (
