Abstract/Summary

In his 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn fashioned and made fashionable the concept of a paradigm. He tied it closely to his concept of ‘normal science’, and contrasted normal science with processed he called ‘scientific revolutions’. Several important critics took issue with his concept of a paradigm, or with theses he took to constitute that concept. Here, the earliest criticisms of the concept are outlined.
