Naturalizing epistemology: Thomas Kuhn and the 'essential tension'
New York: Palgrave-Macmillan (2010)
Abstract
In identifying that the 'essential tension' is the balance between conservative and innovative approaches in the development of knowledge - tried-and tested or new directions - Kuhn pointed out that these two attitudes are both appropriate. This study adds to this picture the social and psychological dynamics that underpin any such balancing.Links
