Abstract

In following paper I will analyse two of Kuhn's assumptions which lay behind his semantical theory leading to the famous meaning-variance thesis. By critising these two assumptions I will try to show the inadequacy of his semantics thereby attacking the foundations of the problem of meaning-variance.

Keywords:

Kuhn, semantics, scientific theories, meaning-variance, incommensurability
