Abstract

Aún se utilizan insistentemente los conceptos de ‘paradigma', ‘inconmensurabilidad' y ‘regla', tal como Thomas Kuhn lo propuso para referirse al modo en que se organizaría la ciencia. Lo problemático es que La estructura de las revoluciones científicas se cita como un caso de debate epistemológico, más que como un ensayo sobre la ciencia con perspectiva histórica. Se discute aquí el uso de Kuhn de estos conceptos para mostrar que esta posición no tiene otro apoyo más que una muy particular visión de la ciencia expuesta en el contexto de las décadas de 1950 y 1960 en Estados Unidos. The concepts of ‘paradigm', ‘incommensurability' and ‘rule' are still widely used. Thomas Kuhn applied them to refer to the way in which science could be organized. The problem is that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is quoted as a case of epistemological discussion, rather than a case of an historical perspective on science. In this paper Kuhn's use of these concepts is commented upon to show that this position has no other backing than a particular vision of science as exposed in the context of the 1950's and 1960's in the United States.
