Abstract

     This research tackles the concept of the scientific revolution and its structural origins. It aims primarily at clarifying the concept and meaning of the scientific revolution through historically tracing it, specifically those periods that contributed strongly to advancing scientific progress in the fields of physics, biology, and chemistry, reaching the most important fields today which is the science of cognition, which is strongly represented in several fields, the most important of which are: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Neuroscience. Modern scientific devices, standards, and tools, one after another, played a major role in the advancement of these fields through their theories that we witness today and what we will see tomorrow and in the near future. Accordingly, this research aims at determining and knowing the method through which any scientific theory can be built, following the contributions left by its predecessors. The research also aims at identifying the contributions of the well-known American philosopher and thinker, Thomas Kuhn, in understanding the method through which scientists practice building any scientific revolution. Through his book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, he proposes several stages that any science or theory must pass through to bring about a revolution.
