Resumo

En este artículo exploro la transición en el pensamiento de Kuhn hacia una filosofía evolutiva de la ciencia a partir de una filosofía histórica de la ciencia. Esta primera filosofía de la ciencia de Kuhn se ha representado repetidas veces como un proceso cíclico en el que una antigua ciencia normal da lugar a un nueva ciencia normal a través de una revolución científica o un cambio de paradigma. Más tarde en su carrera Kuhn rechaza la filosofía histórica de la ciencia y se vuelca hacia una filosofía evolutiva. En lugar de entender el progreso científico como un levantamiento revolucionario, lo concibe ahora como la creciente especialización de las disciplinas científicas. De ahí que, en contraste con un ciclo revolucionario, un árbol evolutivo representa mejor la filosofía de la ciencia madura de Kuhn acerca de como progresa de la ciencia.
