Abstract

SANDOVAL ARAGON, Sergio Lorenzo. The two revolutions of Thomas S. Kuhn. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.22, pp.179-189. ISSN 1850-0013.

This article proposes an analysis of the book The structure of scientific revolutions from  a relational perspective that takes into account all the positions and trajectories of the  producers of ideas in the intellectual field, as well as efforts to give priority to certain  ideas, in certain historical contexts. A first approach shows that, on one hand, the book  meant a specific revolution in cultivated groups (universities) of the United States around  the key year 1968. But, on the other hand, it also was an extraordinary synthesis of  various ideas that had been raised previously by various European schools of thought.  Therefore, the author of this paper concludes that the book is also "revolutionary" from a  general point of view.

Keywords : Scientific revolution; Relational perspective; Specific revolution.
