Abstract

Many are the philosophical participations that combine the philosophies of Karl Marx and the contemporary philosopher of science Thomas Khun. Despite the specialized distinction between them, there is a similarity between them in the general philosophical frameworks on which the specialized details were constructed for both philosophers. This research, however, will focus on detecting the effect of dialectics and genetic epistemology on the philosophy of Thomas Kun. There is similarity in the use of dynamic dialectical approach to describe the process of development in two important areas of human activity. The first, the dialectical development of the history of human society, as in the case of the philosophy of Marx and the second, the dialectic described the process of development in the history of science, as is the case of the philosophy of Thomas Kuhn. And there is similarities in the way they wrote the most famous books of them. They had a structural genetic tendency in the method of writing texts. From the side of epistemology, both of them had a genetic epistemology tendency in describing the development of knowledge of the human being.
