Author: Thomas Kuhn
«Crisis alone is not enough. There must also be a basis, though it need be neither rational nor ultimately correct, for faith in the particular candidate chosen.»
Author: Thomas Kuhn
«The historian of science may be tempted to exclaim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them.»
Author: Thomas Kuhn
«The crises of our time, it becomes increasingly clear, are the necessary impetus for the revolution now under way. And once we understand nature's transformative powers, we see that it is our powerful ally, not a force to feared our subdued.»
Author: Thomas Kuhn
