Thomas Kuhn y el cambio revolucionario: una mirada a las conferencias Notre Dame Giri, Leandro; Cervieri, Ignacio; Melogno, Pablo Thomas Kuhn and Revolutionary Change presents, for the first time, the translation of the second and third Notre Dame Lectures (1980), a material still unpublished even in English. In them, Kuhn deepens his conception of scientific change, incommensurability and the evolution of theoretical language. Accompanied by critical studies of these lectures and complementary analyses of Kuhn's work by specialists in his oeuvre, this volume offers a fresh look at his legacy. Its publication in Spanish rather than in English marks a milestone for Latin American philosophy of science and consolidates a space for local philosophical production and discussion with global impact.

Desarollo científico y cambio de léxico. Conferencias Thalheimer 1984. Kuhn, Thomas; Melogno, Pablo; Miguel, Hernán; Giri, Leandro In 1984 Thomas Kuhn delivered the Thalheimer lectures in the Philosophy Department at Johns Hopkins University. Between November 12 and 19, Kuhn gave four lectures jointly entitled “Scientific development and lexical change.” The lectures focus on the rising historically-oriented philosophy of science and the strategies the historian must implement to understand early scientific theories. Kuhn also develops the notion of a lexicon, claiming that the language of scientific theories is constitutive of the scientists’ world. Thus, a change in lexicon implies a change in the world the scientific community conceives as being describable through language. Because of lexical changes, the historian must reconstruct past theories by using the language of those theories, regardless of whether such language is currently accepted. The draft of the lectures remained unpublished and untranslated in any language for more than three decades. In this volume, these drafts are available for the first time in a critical edition in Spanish.

The Quest for Physical Theory: Problems in the Methodology of Scientific Research Reisch, George A.; Kuhn, Thomas S. Reisch, George A. Before he wrote The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn wrote The Quest for Physical Theory--a series of eight lectures that examine the nature of scientific knowledge, how it is created, and how it changes through time. Commissioned as public lectures in 1951 by Boston's Lowell Institute, The Quest for Physical Theory adopts the historical approach Kuhn would later refine in Structure. He surveys the history of physics from Aristotle to Newton, of atomism from antiquity to modern chemistry, and he examines the concepts of fields and subtle fluids as creative metaphors that guide research. In the last four lectures, he turns to logic and philosophy, psychology, and theories of language to explain the workings of "creative science" that are typically ignored by textbooks and many influential philosophers of science.
