KUHN'S ASSUMPTIONS CONCERNING THE MEANING OF SCIENTIFIC THEORIES

Authors

Abstract

In following paper I will analyse two of Kuhn's assumptions which lay behind his semantical theory leading to the famous meaning-variance thesis. By critising these two assumptions I will try to show the inadequacy of his semantics thereby attacking the foundations of the problem of meaning-variance.

Keywords:

Kuhn; semantics; scientific theories; meaning-variance; incommensurability
