Whorfian variations on Kantian themes : Kuhn's linguistic turn / Gürol Irzik, Teo Grünberg.
Abstract:
'Thomas Kuhn's post-1980 writings have increasingly emphasized the role played by language in the characterization of scientific revolutions and incommensurability. We argue that Kuhn's linguistic turn' can be understood best against the background of a Whorfian conception of language and certain neo-Kantian themes.'
