Thomas Kuhn's ""Linguistic Turn"" and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism (Ashgate New Critical Thinking in Philosophy)
Stefano Gattei
Presenting a critical history of the philosophy of science in the
twentieth century, focusing on the transition from logical positivism in
its first half to the "new philosophy of science" in its second,
Stefano Gattei examines the influence of several key figures, but the
main focus of the book are Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. Kuhn as the
central figure of the new philosophy of science, and Popper as a key
philosopher of the time who stands outside both traditions. Gattei makes
two important claims about the development of the philosophy of science
in the twentieth century; that Kuhn is much closer to positivism than
many have supposed, failing to solve the crisis of neopostivism, and
that Popper, in responding to the deeper crisis of foundationalism that
spans the whole of the Western philosophical tradition, ultimately shows
what is untenable in Kuhn's view. Gattei has written a very detailed
and fine grained, yet accessible discussion making exceptionally
interesting use of archive materials.
