The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas S. Kuhn:

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is a book about the history of science by philosopher Thomas S. Kuhn. Its publication was a landmark event in the historyphilosophy, and sociology of science.

Kuhn argued for an episodic model in which periods of conceptual continuity where there is cumulative progress, which Kuhn referred to as periods of “normal science“, were interrupted by periods of revolutionary science.
