Rethinking Thomas Kuhn’s Legacy cover

Thomas Kuhn is widely considered as one of the most important philosophers of science in the 20th century and his The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is regarded as one of the most influential works in the philosophy of science. This book not only revisits his legacy in the history and philosophy of science but also explores and reflects on the prospect of the Kuhnian philosophy. Moreover, it includes the edited text of Kuhn’s ‘Does Knowledge Grow?’, which was never published before. Comprised of 15 newly written chapters by leading Kuhn scholars and philosophers of science across the globe from ten countries, this book is of great interest to researchers and advanced students, but also to general readers.

“Rethinking Thomas Kuhn’s Legacy is a rich collection that showcases the variety of philosophical and other issues that stem from Kuhn’s work. … Rethinking Thomas Kuhn’s Legacy is a valuable contribution not only for Kuhn scholars but also for anyone engaged in contemporary work in HPS.” (Thodoris Dimitrakos, Metascience, Vol. 34 (2), 2025)
