COMMUNICATION AND SOLIDARITY WITHIN THE<br />SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITIES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE<br />PARADIGMATIC MODEL OF SCIENCE
Keywords:
rationality, rational communication, incommensurability, progress of science, the scientific community, solidarityAbstract
This study analyses the incommensurability thesis of the scientific theories, a thesis that is specific to the scientific paradigmatic model, as its influence concerning the change of certain fundamental epistemological concepts, such as rationality, rational communication, science progress, and upon the possibility of establishing a certain type of solidarity among the members of the scientific communities, respectively. We will only stop upon Kuhn’s contribution to the substantiation of the incommensurability thesis and upon the consequences that arise from this thesis as concerning the possibility of the rational debates among the followers of certain rival scientific theories, as upon the meaning and role of the science progress.References
