Abstract
This essay examines and compares the Kuhnian and Weberian models of scientific advance. The comparison is based upon Kuhn's works on scientific revolution and Weber's methodological essays as well as his response to the German methodenstreit. Weber's determinant of scientific crisis is wider cultural change in values, while Kuhn's is found within the scientific community in the form on an anomaly. Although Kuhn's theory of scientific progress has only limited applicability to social science, a consideration of his notion of paradigms as exemplars points to the relevance of Weber for both the physical and social sciences.
