Daniel Dennett on Thomas Kuhn
← Back to Daniel Dennett Profile
“Kuhn’s book has been misread and misused in many quarters; Kuhn’s excellent points are not as radical as many like to believe.”
“Thomas Kuhn, in The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), is the godfather of all the subsequent discussions, and it should be noted that Kuhn's book is perhaps the all-time champion in the category of Enthusiastically Misunderstood Classic. It's a wonderful book, in spite of all the misuse to which it's been put.”
