Hoyningen-Huene examines Kuhn's ideas over four decades, placing them within a historical framework and providing a comprehensive understanding of Kuhn's philosophy of science.
The book delves into key concepts such as paradigms, paradigm shifts, normal science, and scientific revolutions. Hoyningen-Huene traces the evolution of these ideas from Kuhn's early work as a historian of science. He explores Kuhn's thesis that scientists on opposite sides of a revolutionary divide "work in different worlds," explaining the notion of a ‘world-change’ during a scientific revolution.
