Naturalizing Kuhn
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 105 (1):99-117 (2005)
Abstract
I argue that the naturalism of Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," which he himself later ignored, is worthy of rehabilitation. A naturalistic conception of paradigms is ripe for development with the tools of cognitive science. As a consequence a naturalistic understanding of world-change and incommensurability is also viable.Author's Profile
