The Scientific Revolution was a European mind shift from religious to scientific guided knowledge. To what extent is the Scientific Revolution the most important revolution
This is only a short answer space. Much of this book treats this idea directly: that the best analogy to understand the way scientific progress really looks on a technical level is to understand it in terms of political revolution. By understanding the communal nature of science, it basically proves itself that it is political, because the community is a community of real humans who understand science through whatever paradigms they use to understand the world. And, since Kuhn believes that each new scientific discovery comes with an implied world view change, it's no wonder why scientific revolutions have to play themselves out—world view changing is serious business. Science changes everything: food growth, war, market economy and power.
