Aren't we past Kuhn these days? For instance, Imre Lakatos take it further than Kuhn in his "Research Programs". And Larry Laudan takes it further than these two: research traditions and problem-soloving. Well, we have all -isms (positivism, empiricism, constructive empricism) pragmatism, realism), which are to explain the progress of knowledge (natural sciences, that is).
