Abstract
The article considers the main provisions of the theory of the structure of scientific revolutions and its influence on the further development of philosophy. It is shown that Kuhn’s work caused a great surge of interest in the study of scientific practice among social philosophers, culturologists and historians, which led to the development of social epistemology. The philosophical result of the development of the theory of scientific revolutions was an attempt to defend the position of realism and truth in order to maintain the approach of scientific rationality.
