After Thomas Kuhn: The Structure of Aesthetic Revolutions

lt;p>Oana erban, University of Bucharest, Faculty of Philosophy & Executive Director of CCIIF - Research Center of the History and Circulation of Philosophical Ideas, Bucharest, Romania.

"After Thomas Kuhn is an outstanding addition to the state-of-the-art, a back-and-forth
exercise that crisscrosses multiple disciplines, niches, and literature, having the potential of
delivering a stable point of reference to any philosopher, historian, or sociologist of art engaged in the Kuhnian meta-puzzle of commutability." Daian Bica in: Rev. Roum. Philosophie, 67, 1, 2023

"[...] for someone who belongs to more analytical philosophical communities, this book is an invitation to think
outside of the box and to question as much as possible the nature of interdisciplinarity in reference
to the works of Thomas Kuhn. [...] I don't think we will find a better manner of philosophically addressing the
distinctions between aesthetic and artistic contents or their capacity for producing cultural revolutions
than we find in Oana erban's exploration of aesthetic validity and its connection to the ideas of
Kuhn." Diana Ghinea in: Balkan Journal of Philosophy, 15, 1, 2023

"[...] reading Oana erban's work is like listening to
a jazz concert in a cathedral. As for the methodology, the way in
which the author combines the research methods, from the
hermeneutic ones (genealogy, archaeology) to the
phenomenological approach, in order to support with a variety of
references her working hypotheses, remains exemplary." Delia Casiana Florea in: META, 2023/2

"Thorough and detailed, the book provides a relevant and convincing argumentative reflection on the
debate between Kubler and Kuhn. With its distinctive category of aesthetic
validity, it introduces a new perspective relevant to a variety of social,
aesthetic, and philosophical audiences. " Andrea Miskocová in: The Slovak Journal of Aesthetics 2/23
