Incommensurability, translation and understanding
Philosophical Quarterly 41 (165):414-426 (1991)
Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of how it is possible to understand the language of an incommensurable theory. The aim is to defend the idea of translation failure against the objection that it incoherently precludes understanding.Author's Profile
