Reviews
Rupert Read, University of East Anglia, author of Kuhn: Philosopher of Scientific Revolution:
Mladenović’s Kuhn may well be the closest to Kuhn’s Kuhn that we are ever going to get. This book is a deeply impressive, thorough, fair weighing of how to think Kuhn’s philosophy of science. With a rich diet of comparisons, Mladenović takes one through the voluminous literature on Kuhn, setting out a compelling case for his excellence and contemporary relevance.

Arthur Fine, University of Washington:
Kuhn’s Legacy integrates Kuhn’s mature reflections and developments with his classic The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in a clear and persuasive narrative. Bojana Mladenović poses probing interpretive questions about the texts while also examining constraints concerning how best to answer such questions. The results support a pragmatic, communitarian conception of inquiry that she ascribes to Kuhn and, reflexively, applies to investigations of Kuhn, including her own. It is brilliantly done.
