> Kuhn covered it in full. Nothing more to be said on this subject.
The book was a classic when it came out, but there have been some fairly strong critiques in the past fifty years or so.
In fact, the most recent edition of the book includes a 'Postscript' written in 1969, in which Kuhne tries to answer some of the most pertinent criticisms of his theory.
There are also alternative theories to all this, or at least different perspectives one can take. Karl Popper's Conjectures and Refutations is a good example.
