book:the structure of scientific revolutions
September 18, 2006
Kuhn, Thomas S. The Structure of Scientific Revolution. 3rd ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996.
This classic book grounds science in a social, temporal context. Kuhn suggest that some ideas are only available at certain times, that strategies that are available now weren’t always available, and, ultimately, science is a function of social contexts. Tangentially related to my interests in social epistemology in LIS, this text does discuss knowledge as a social phenomenon.
