Abstract

The final end of this paper is to analyze the concepts of “progress” and “break down” in scientific revolutions and show the existing paradoxes in kuhn’s works about them. We firstly show that some thinkers has assumed human progress, in philosophy of history, the logic of historical research and historiography. Later we show that Kuhn doubt about that and represents the history of science discrete.
