Evolution and continuity in scientific change
Philosophy of Science 56 (3):419-437 (1989)
| Abstract | The alleged problem of "incommensurability" is examined, and attempts to explain scientific change in terms of concepts of meaning and reference are analyzed and rejected. A way of understanding scientific change through a properly developed concept of "reasons" is presented, and the issues of reasons, meaning, and reference are placed in the context of this broader interpretation of scientific change | |||||||||
