Fulbright Fellows Program
Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was the best-selling academic book of the 20th Century, selling over one million copies in sixteen languages. As part of their introduction to the United States, a group of forty-one Fulbright Scholars from thirty countries is studying Kuhn at Penn this summer. I gave the introductory lecture on SSR, which was great fun. I rarely get to do philosophy of science anymore. The slides are here, but the animated version is even better: lots of astronomy and epicycles, along with a cameo by Homer Simpson.
