Abstract

As if it were an exercise in hermeneutics, Thomas Kuhn's Thalheimer Lectures at Johns Hopkins University in 1984 deepen the relativistic vision of the philosophy of science. However, this is not developed through a simple historicism but rather through a framework reflected in language practices. In these four lectures, Kuhn's focus is on the notion of language as a world-constructor. To this end, he draws upon the foundation of incommensurability to refer to certain scientific languages.
