In this book, the recent theories of concepts developed by cognitive scientists are used to evaluate and extend Kuhns most influential ideas. Based on case studies of the Copernican revolution, nuclear fission, and Kuhns famous ducks and geese example of concept learning, the volume offers new accounts of the nature of normal and revolutionary science, the function of anomalies, and the nature of incommensurability.
