Abstract

The concepts of 'paradigm', 'incommensurability' and 'rule' are still widely quoted. 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 of 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 1950s in the United States.
