Minor rubbing. VG. Philosophy of Science Polity / Blackwell Cambridge / Malden 2002 orig.wrappers 23x15cm, x,233 pp., PAPERBACK. "Thomas Kuhn's shadow hangs over almost every field of intellectual inquiry. His influence upon social science, historiography, law, philosophy, feminism, theology, and the natural sciences is unparalleled. His epoch-making concepts of 'new paradigm' and 'scientific revolutions' make him probably the most influential academic of the twentieth century. And yet this book argues that Kuhn has been catastrophically misunderstood.The authors draw on ethnomethodological sociology and Wittgensteinian philosophy, and utlilize Kuhn's own startling reactions to his fame and influence. They argue that the Kuhn who appalls 'realists', followers of Karl Popper, and some natural scientists, and the same Kuhn who delights ' relativists', 'postmodernists' and practitioners of 'Science Studies', is a sheer figment of cultural fantasy, bearing little or no relation to the actual author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn's million- selling contemporary classic. Sharrock and Read take the reader through Kuhn's work in a careful and accessible way, accenting particularly what previous writers have neglected. They also provide excellent explanations, defences of and, where appropriate, criticisms of Kuhn's central concept of 'incommensurability', and tackle head on the crucial issue of whether Kuhn's insights concerning the natural sciences can be extrapolated to other disciplines, such as the social sciences..,." - Publisher's description., Polity / Blackwell, 2002, 3, Paperback / softback. New. Philosophy of Experimental Biology explores some central philosophical issues concerning scientific research in experimental biology, including genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, and microbiology. This book should be of interest to philosophers and historians of science as well as to scientists., 6<
