Kuhn's Intellectual Path

'This is an enlightening book, both for Kuhn novices and for Kuhn professionals. Wray's judgment on contentious issues – of which there are many – is invariably balanced and fair. The book is equally well-researched and well-written; it is a delight to read.' Paul Hoyningen-Huene, Leibniz University Hannover
'a comprehensive, accessible, fair overview of Thomas Kuhn's work … Recommended.' D. B. Boersema, Choice Connect
'… the book is clearly structured, with respect to both chronology and themes, and Wray offers many new angles and insights. But each of the four parts as well as each individual chapter can also be read in isolation. Wray assists the reader by providing concise introductions to and summaries of each chapter and part of the book.' Hanne Andersen, Metascience
'Who should read this book? Anyone who is interested in Kuhn's ideas, or historically oriented philosophy of science in the second half of the twentieth century, will find many things of value here. But a much larger audience would benefit from reading it. If you are an analytic philosopher, and especially if you are a philosopher of science, what you believe about Kuhn is probably wrong, and this book will begin to set you right. If what you believe about Kuhn is wrong, what you believe about science is wrong too. Science is our paradigm for rational discourse and the creation of knowledge, so if you don't understand what Kuhn said about science, then you have no business theorizing about rationality or knowledge. There is a great deal of work to do, and Wray's book is an excellent place to start.' Peter Barker, Philosophy of Science
