Abstract:
This article focuses on an analysis of Paul Feyerabend’s incommensurability theory. Paul Feyerabend and Thomas Kuhn are the proponents of incommensurability theory in contemporary philosophy of science, though their views on incommensurability thesis are not exactly the same. Incommensurability theory is one of the major contributions of Paul Feyerabend in philosophy of science. The fundamental questions are: What actually does Feyerabend mean by incommensurability of fundamental scientific theories? Do the meanings of scientific concepts change when scientific theories change? Do scientific t

Abstract:
In the dissertation, I propose to consider the vicissitudes of Thomas Kuhn's historical approach to science with an eye to clarifying his controversial notion of incommensurability. Although the notion of incommensurability, one of the most significant results of Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, has been much criticized in recent Anglo-American philosophy, I argue that it incorporates insights that are still worth reviving and defending. Moreover, since these insights derived from Kuhn's syntheses of the ideas of thinkers such as L. Fleck, A. Koyre, L. Wittgenstein, N. Hanson, M

Full text
Abstract:
Kuhn's incommensurability thesis is the claim that successive scientific theories often conflict not only logically but also normatively: i.e. they differ both about nature and also about the use of common apparatus, concepts and experimental results, and what are proper scientific goals and methods. Critics commonly object that Kuhn's thesis attacks such traditional scientific values as objectivity and rationality. But their strongest response can be expressed as a dilemma: either, if taken literally, the incommensurability thesis is self-contradictory; or, if that literal reading is rejected

Abstract:
This dissertation proposes a theory of reference for the language of scientific theories. This theory of reference looks at the nature of postulation in scientific theories, and shows that mental posits are metaphorical in nature. It is a hybrid of internalist and extensive reference theories. This, allied with the competing epistemological assumptions of competing schools of linguistics, can account for the existence of incommensurability across two paradigms of linguistics. The relationship between transformational generative grammar and socio- linguistics is vexed. Both claim the same objec

Abstract:
As it is discussed in philosophy, economics, and some other social sciences, well-being is very commonly conceived of and treated in quantificational terms. However, it is difficult, if not impossible to make room in the quantificational conception of well-being for any notion of sufficiency––of having enough in a sense that it is especially ethically significant that people attain. This difficulty with sufficiency is encapsulated by the Threshold Problem: that of non-arbitrarily specifying a sufficiency level on a scale of well-being. This thesis takes this difficulty and this problem as an o

Abstract:
This study focuses on the erasure of the black woman from the mainstream theatre space of South Africa as a provocation towards the creation of a dramaturgical process that pivots around the notion of 'deliberate incommensurability' as a catalyst for exploration. 'deliberate incommensurability' is a term I have coined myself as it suggests an agency in the black woman as subject and object of study. I suggest the requirement for an autoethnographic inquest in carrying out the research, as the methodology used in the creation of the processes and products of the study was Practice as Research (

Abstract:
Graphite is known to be a good solid lubricant. The low-friction behavior is commonly ascribed to the low resistance to shear. Using a home-built frictional force microscope that is able to detect forces in three dimensions, we have studied the energy dissipation between a tungsten tip sliding over a graphite surface in dry contact. By measuring atomic-scale friction as a function of the rotational angle between two contacting bodies we show that the origin of the ultra-low friction of graphite lies in the incommensurability between rotated graphite layers, an effect proposed under the name of

Abstract:
The Trolley Problem is a common problem considered by philosophers, because of the many variations that exist and the subtle differences in solutions that can be generated. Recent research has coupled the Trolley Problem with neuroimaging techniques (fMRI), and demonstrates a complex interaction between cognitive and emotional responses depending on the problem variant. This paper poses the Engineer’s variant of the Trolley problem, namely whether or not an engineer should incorporate safety devices in design if the safety devices have a downside with respect to safety.
