Thomas Kuhn's 'Linguistic Turn' and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism

Focusing on the evolution of the philosophy of science throughout the twentieth century, the book critically examines the shift from logical positivism to the "new philosophy of science." It highlights the contributions of key figures, particularly Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. The author argues that Kuhn is more aligned with positivism than commonly believed, while Popper's critiques reveal fundamental flaws in Kuhn's perspective, addressing the broader crisis of foundationalism within Western philosophy.
