An Excellent Piece on Thomas Kuhn


I just finished reading Samir Okasha's chapter on Thomas Kuhn in his (Okasha's) Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction. Okasha is Prof. of the Philosophy of Science at Bristol University. This is an excellent little book. The Kuhn chapter, for example, is very well-written and clarifying. Anyone interested in understanding meta-scientific matters (e.g., What is 'science'?) will learn much from this book.
