1Traditionally, "observation language" was supposed to fulfill the function of an impartial referee. Yet, Kuhn's considerations cast serious doubts on its impartiality (see Hoyningen-Huene 1993, 36-37).
2Kubn, i 970b, 118; similarly 4, 111, 150 et al. Those "different worlds"-dicta are discussed below, see Section 5.
3For overviews of the vast literature on the reception of Kubn's incommensurability-thesis (see, e.g., Gattei 2008, 118, f. 219; Hoyningen-Huene 1993, 207, f. 58).
4See the collection of the charges in Bernstein (1989 22, v. 234).
5See Section 1. Hoyningen-Huene (1993, 201-06) uses the term "change of world.".
6See also his account (1993, 203) of how Kuhn wrestled with metaphors different from "change of worlds" before the publication of SSR. 7.
7This is not to deny the importance of Kuhn's "different worlds"----dicta (see Hoyningen-Huene 1993, 201-06 and Section 4). In my analysis of a "Neu-Erschlieflung der Wirklichkeit" through paradigm shifts, I analyze their importance (see Grube 2012, 44-49). 8.
8See Kuhn's retrospective remarks on the importance the incommensurability-thesis had for the development of his own work (in Conant and Haugeland 2000, 91). 9.
9For a full account of the differences (see Sankey 1997, 34-38). 10.
10See Kuhn, 1983, 677. For Kuhn's still later reliance on the no-overlap principle and its connection with natural kind terms, see Sankey, 1997, 70-72. 11.
