Because my kids ended up studying science, in our little family reading group we tackled Kuhn's 'Structure of Scientific Revolutions', despite the fact that my own education had been in the arts.
I wonder how many people with a decent knowledge of cultural history would come away from that book, like me, with the very strong impression that the evolution of scientific ideas is in fact a hell of a lot more closely related to the wider evolution of ideas - to cultural change - than most scientists would like to think?
