As to history, his vision of development of scince has been contested, and in my mind, thoruhgly refuted,by Steven Toulmin, among others.
Stephen Toulmin (1970) argues that a more realistic picture shows that revisionary changes in science are far more common and correspondingly less dramatic than Kuhn supposes, and that perfectly `normal' science experiences these changes also.

This point has been persuasively argued in the past by such social contract theorists as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau.
It has been reiterated in the present by game theorists and systems analysts, and by such contemporary philosophers as Kurt Baier, John Rawls, Kai Nielsen and Steven Toulmin.
Because of this philosophical interest in the systems approach to morality, those philosophers who wish to derive norms of conduct toward nature (that is to say, an environmental ethic) might be inclined to adopt the ecologists' preferred mode of holistic and systematic thinking.
