Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996)
Thomas Kuhn had a large impact in science. He often did not share the same views with many other scientists. In the1970's Kuhn and Quine did not share the same view that certain translations were impossible. “Kuhn thought that incommensurability was a matter of there being no fully adequate translation whereas Quine’s thesis involved the availability of multiple translations.” Their differences did not stop there. Throughout the years they never shared the same view on this topic.
