Science Studies e Thomas Kuhn
Stephen Turner
“The controversy over Thomas Kuhn’s astonishingly successful Structure of Scientific Revolutions ([1962]1996), which denied the possibility of a rational account of conceptual revolutions and characterized them in the language of collective psychology, created the conditions for producing the field that became ‘science studies’”
“A controvérsia sobre o estrondoso sucesso de A Estrutura das Revoluções Científicas, de Thomas Kuhn ([1962] 1996), o qual nega a possibilidade de uma abordagem racional das revoluções conceituais e as caracteriza na linguagem da psicologia coletiva, criou as condições para produção do campo que se tornou ‘science studies’ “
