incommensurability  

Definición

  • The term incommensurability was used by Thomas Kuhn to indicate the cognitive inconsistency that occurs when one natural science paradigm gives way to another. For Kuhn, saying that one paradigm is incommensurable with another meant that the same objective phenomena were viewed completely differently through the lenses of the two different paradigms.
