SORU:

What do you know about The Primacy of Language in Kuhn's account?


CEVAP:

In Kuhn’s account, we find the primacy of language, in definition of a field and its demarcation from other fields of study during pre-science phase; in definition of concepts and problems; in formulations of observations, in discussions and reports of the findings during normal science phase; in discussions over the basics of a discipline and the accumulated anomalies during revolutionary phase all of which involves language. We can say language is central to Kuhn’s concept of paradigm. In fact, language comes before any interpretation in the history of science that Kuhn himself provides.
