Interpreting Kuhn provides a comprehensive, up-to-date study of Thomas Kuhn''s philosophy and legacy. With twelve essays newly written by an international group of scholars, it covers a wide range of topics where Kuhn had an influence. Part I deals with foundational issues such as Kuhn''s metaphysical assumptions, his relationship to Kant and Kantian philosophy, as well as contextual influences on his writing, including Cold War psychology and art. Part II tackles three Kuhnian concepts: normal science, incommensurability, and scientific revolutions. Part III deals with the Copernican Revolution in astronomy, the theory-ladenness of observation, scientific discovery, Kuhn''s evolutionary analogies, and his theoretical monism. The volume is an ideal resource for advanced students seeking an overview of Kuhn''s philosophy, and for specialists following the development of Kuhn scholarship.

Required reading for scholars of the philosophy of science ... Essential.' R. C. Robinson, Choice Connect
