Kuhn, Thomas

"Revolutionary science involves not just new ideas but new ways of thinking."

"Scientists are both constrained by and constituted through their participation in communities."

"The structure of scientific knowledge reflects the structure of scientific communities."

"Paradigm shifts are ultimately matters of persuasion and conversion."

"What counts as evidence depends on the theoretical framework one adopts."

"Scientific revolutions redistribute the respect and prestige of different scientists."

"The transition to a new paradigm is like a conversion experience."

"Understanding scientific revolutions helps us understand the nature of knowledge itself."

"The scientist is constrained by tools, traditions, and theoretical commitments."

"Anomalies become visible only in the context of a paradigm."

"Revolutionary change in science is as much about people as about ideas."

"What seems like clear evidence of progress may actually be paradigm change."

"Scientific communities are held together by shared problems and shared solutions."

"The growth of scientific knowledge is not monotonic but involves losses as well as gains."
