Abstract
In this paper we propose that Kuhn's work constitutes a philosophical revolution in the Philosophy of Science. The search for philosophical revolutions is an extension of Kuhn's ideas about scientific revolutions severed from the scientific field. Revolutions in Philosophy are different from those in Science due to some relevant aspects which we briefly discuss in this work. We argue that the Kuhnian philosophical revolution consists in the naturalization of the Philosophy of Science which we find in his writings, finally we discuss Kuhn's biological analogy as an illustrative instance.
