Rethinking Scientific Change and Theory Comparison: Stabilities, Ruptures, Incommensurabilities? /
The volume is a collection of essays devoted to the analysis of scientific change and stability. It explores the balance and tension that exists between commensurability and continuity on the one hand, and incommensurability and discontinuity on the other. And it discusses some central epistemologic...
