Description:
This book explores an evolutionary theory of scientific knowledge, and provides the basis for a new linguistic approach to methodology. Including an original essay by the late Thomas Kuhn, this volume takes inspiration from his work in history and the philosophy of sciences. The authors highlight the critical importance of the relationship between the process of learning a language and translation, and use this to examine scientific language and interpretation.
