Abstract
- This paper explores Thomas Kuhn's mature conception of incommensurable theories as collective structured lexicons that are not mutually translatable. As will be argued, his view on this issue can profitably be approached in the light of the broad pragmatist attitude that one finds at the core of Wittgenstein's late philosophy of language, which can also consistently be ascribed to Kuhn.
