Thomas S. Kuhn’s last writings are showcased through a volume containing unfinished and related texts, including themes of historical understanding, empirically grounded theories of meaning, incommensurability, and scientific change. A second highlight, Get in the Game, frames sports and mathematics through approachable probability models using coin-and-dice experiments to help readers reason about greatness and improbability.","HIGHLIGHTS FOR FALL 202 2 · THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS  \nThomas S. Kuhn (1922–96) was an American philosopher and the Laurence S. Rockefeller Professor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, his books include The Copernican Revolution, The Essential Tension, and Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894–1912, all also published by the University of Chicago Press. Bojana Mladenovic is professor of philosophy at Williams College. She is the author of Kuhn’s Legacy: Epistemology, Metaphilosophy, and Pragmatism.  \nSCIENCE  \nTHOMAS S. KUHN  \n\n| The Last Writings of Thomas S . Kuhn\u003Cbr>Incommensurability in Science Edited by Bojana Mladenović |\n| --- |\n| DECEMBER | 312 p. | 25 halftones | 6 x 9 | Cloth $27.50 |\n\nThis book contains the text of Thomas S. Kuhn’s unfinished book, The Plurality of Worlds: An Evolutionary Theory of Scientific Development, which Kuhn himself described as “a return to the central claims of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and the problems that it raised but did not resolve.” The Plurality of Worlds is preceded by two related texts that Kuhn publicly delivered but never published in English: his paper “Scientific Knowledge as a Historical Product” and his Shearman Memorial Lectures,“The Presence of Past Science.” An introduction by the editor describes the origins and structure of The Plurality of Worlds and sheds light on its central philosophical problems.  \nKuhn’s aims in his last writings are bold. He sets out to develop an empirically grounded theory of meaning that would allow him to make sense of both the possibility of historical understanding and the inevitability of incommensurability between past and present science. In his view, incommensurability is fully compatible with a robust notion of the real world that science investigates, the rationality of scientific change, and the idea that scientific development is progressive.  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nEditor’s Introduction  \nEditor’s Note  \nThomas S.
