Thomas Kuhn, Hyperbole, and the Ashtray: Evidence of Morris' Faulty Memory.
Errol Morris has claimed that Kuhn threw an ashtray at him during a dispute about some matter in the history of science.

Morris also claims that Kuhn threw him out of the graduate program at Princeton for disagreeing with him. I argue that Morris's attack on Kuhn contains some degree of hyperbole. Further, I present evidence that shows that Morris is mistaken about key events during this period. In fact, Kuhn was supportive of Morris in his pursuit of a career in the history of science. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Philosophy of Science is the property of Cambridge University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
