Kuhn, inconmensurabilidad y a priori kantiano, un reto para el enfoque referencial del realismo científico

Abstract

Ontological change after a scientific revolution, the disturbing consequence of Kuhn’s incommensurability theory continues to gain interest, since the last decade of the previous century the nonrealist interpretation of HoyningenHuene and Oberheim has represented a challenge to the scientific realism of Sankey, who postulates co-reference as a possibility for overlapping
terms untranslatable by semantic incommensurability. Arguments in discussion about comparability, world and referential overlap seem incompatible between the two approaches (points 1, 2); Hoyningen-Huene’s Kantian interpretation of phenomenal world and world-in-itself, about the world that changes and the world that does not change by scientific revolutions, is unacceptable to Sankey (point 2.1); I postulate an analogy between Kant’s categories and external space with Kuhn’s lexicon and world-in-itself, respectively (point 3)
