Philosopher of Science
Thomas Kuhn was an American philosopher and historian of science who introduced the concept of the paradigm shift in his landmark 1962 work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. He held positions at Harvard, UC Berkeley, Princeton and MIT, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
by Thomas Kuhn
Kuhn argues that science doesn't progress through steady accumulation but through paradigm shifts - revolutionary breaks where the entire framework changes. Normal science solves puzzles until anomalies trigger a crisis.
The books Thomas Kuhn references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Charles Darwin
Darwin lays out the evidence that species evolve through natural selection, where small heritable variations accumulate over generations. The theory unified biology and changed how we understand life.
