KUHN’ S STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS AT FIFTY: REFLECTIONS ON A SCIENCE CLASSIC
Book ID/图书代码： 13560015B85082
English Summary/英文概要： Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was a watershed event when it was published in 1962, upending the previous understanding of science as a slow, logical accumulation of facts and introducing, with the concept of the “paradigm shift,” social and psychological considerations into the heart of the scientific process. More than fifty years after its publication, Kuhn’s work continues to influence thinkers in a wide range of fields, including scientists, historians, and sociologists. It is clear that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions itself marks no less of a paradigm shift than those it describes.
In Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientific Revolutions” at Fifty, leading social scientists and philosophers explore the origins of Kuhn’s masterwork and its legacy fifty years on. These essays exhume important historical context for Kuhn’s work, critically analyzing its foundations in twentieth-century science, politics, and Kuhn’s own intellectual biography: his experiences as a physics graduate student, his close relationship with psychologists before and after the publication of Structure, and the Cold War framework of terms such as “world view” and “paradigm.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 托马斯•S•库恩在1962年出版的《科学革命的结构》是一次分水岭事件，它颠覆了关于科学是事实和介绍的缓慢和逻辑积累过程的理解，随着“范式转变”概念的提出，社会和心理因素开始纳入科学过程的核心。该书出版五十年后，库恩的工作继续影响最着许多领域的思想家们，包括科学家，历史学家和社会学家。很显然，《科学革命的结构》本身就标志着丝毫不逊于它所描述的范式转变。
在《庆祝库恩的《科学革命的结构》五十岁》中，著名的社会科学家和哲学家们探讨了库恩的著作和它传承五十多年的遗产。这些文章发掘了库恩作品中重要的历史背景，批判地分析了其在二十世纪的科学和政治中的基础，库恩自己的思想传记：他作为一个物理学研究生的经历，《科学革命的结构》出版前后他与心理学家的密切关系，以及冷战期间的术语框架，诸如“世界观”和“范式”。(LNL)
Awards/获奖情况：库恩的《科学革命的结构》是近百年来最重要的著作之一。他的语言和概念已经渗透到当代的思想中，而且他的观点仍然是鲜活和真正重要的。为它庆祝五十岁生日是多么美妙的主意！对庆祝的选择是一流的，并且是恰当的，他们不是简单崇拜库恩，还批判性地分析他的工作。（谢丽尔•米萨克，多伦多大学）
Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the most important books in the last hundred years. His language and concepts have permeated contemporary thought and his arguments are still alive and of real importance. What a great idea to have a fiftieth birthday for it! The selection of celebrants is top-notch, and, as is fitting, they are not simply kneeling at the feet of Kuhn, but critically engaging with his work.(Cheryl Misak, University of Toronto)
