I finally finished The Structure of Scientific Revolutions and amazingly by completion I managed to appreciate Kuhn's work. I listened to Steve Fuller's lecture on the work before I finished the book and while I know it is an understatement to say Fuller has done considerably more research of Kuhn than I, I still came away from my reading with very different ideas.
For my review due tomorrow, I am going to focus on how Kuhn's ideas on revolution relate to the article we read from OCLC on trends in information formats. Notes for me on similarities I observed:
- importance of debates/diverging opinions
- cyclical pattern
- new vocabularies/equipment
- anomalies spawning new ideas
- specialization
