Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in East Asia, Expanded.

An essay is presented that describes translations and translators of historian and scientist Thomas S. Kuhn's book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" in East Asia. The first to translate the book into an East Asian language in the late 1960s was Nakayama Shigeru, one of Kuhn's graduate students at Harvard who later became his close colleague. The first Chinese translation of "Structure" was published in 1980.
