Commentary to the Preface of "The Essential Tension" by Thomas Kuhn
Abstract
This review highlights, as virtues, some of the points made by Kuhn in the Preface, which, in a way, is a defense and review of his works, in particular of the very influential Structure of Scientific Revolutions. From our perspective, perhaps paradoxically, these same virtues, in the end, end up becoming flaws from a philosophical point of view.
