Thomas Kuhn was an American philosopher of science, best known for his influential work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," published in 1962. In this book, Kuhn introduced the concept of "paradigm shifts," which describes how scientific progress is not a linear accumulation of knowledge but rather a series of transformative stages that involve fundamental changes in scientific thought. Kuhn argued that scientific communities operate within paradigms—frameworks of theories, methodologies, and standards that define normal science.
