Abstract

[Hermínio Martins’ essay on ‘The Kuhnian “revolution” and its implications for sociology’ (in Imagination and Precision in the Social Sciences—essays in memory of Peter Nettl, edited by Stein Rokkan, A. H. Hanson and Tom Nossiter, London, Faber and Faber, 1972, pp. 13–58) was one of the first such assessments and was deservedly influential. This chapter examines the impact of Kuhn’s work on the self-understanding of social scientists, from the 1968 years (when it was used, for example, to mark the difference between Marxist and ‘bourgeois’ social science) to the present, when it continues to shape discussions of the classification of the sciences (another theme in Martins’ own wide-ranging work).]
