| Incommensurability - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Incommensurability: non-comparability. Expression by Thomas Kuhn (Th. Kuhn, The structure of scientific revolutions, 1962). Kuhn argues that scientific theories which are replaced in the course of time use terms which are altered in their meaning, and therefore make a comparison of, e.g. measurement results impossible and thus also a comparison of statements._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
