Stephen Toulmin criticized this book in 1972's Human Understanding, which instead proposed an "evolutionary model" of this book's titular phenomena. This work cites Leo Postman, Jerome Bruner, and N.R. Hanson to support the theory-dependence of observation, while Shigeru Nakayama convinced this work's author to write a postscript to this work in 1969, which responded to its early critics. Hartry Field published a 1973 article criticizing a concept first introduced in this book, known as the Semantic Incommensurability Thesis. The example of the duck-rabbit is used to explain the concept of World-Change. This book describes a process whereby impressive explanatory power will draw adherents to a body of theories, whose adoption will lead to anomalies and crises, which in turn lead to new revolutions in scientific thought. For ten points, name this 1962 book that introduced the concept of "paradigm shift", an analysis of the history of breakthroughs in science by Thomas S. Kuhn.
