Rethinking Scientific Change and Theory Comparison:: Stabilities, Ruptures, Incommensurabilities?

by Lena Soler (Editor), H. Sankey (Editor), Paul Hoyningen-Huene (Editor)

This volume presents a collection of essays devoted to the analysis of scientific change and stability. It explores the balance and tension that exist between commensurability and continuity on the one hand and incommensurability and discontinuity on the other. The book constitutes fully revised versions of papers that were originally presented at an international colloquium held at the University of Nancy, France, in June 2004.
