Resumo: Thomas Kuhn is mostly known for his contributions to the Philosophy of Science. However, it was chiefly to investigations in Philosophy of Language that he dedicated the last part of his career. The aim of this paper is to present a systematic view of Kuhn’s main ideas on this subject. I start by describing his theory of concept, in particular what he says about terms for kinds. Learned through ostensible definitions, these terms are acquired in blocks that form contrasting sets or “taxonomies.” Next, I analyze Kuhn’s conceptions of “meaning” and “truth.” Finally, I discuss a second type of term for kinds, not fully investigated by him, which is learned together with scientific laws.

No entanto, foi em grande medida à filosofia da linguagem que ele dedicou a última parte de sua carreira. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma visão sistemática das principais ideias de Kuhn sobre esse assunto. Começo descrevendo sua teoria do conceito, em particular o que ele diz sobre termos para espécie (kind terms). Tais termos, aprendidos em blocos que formam conjuntos de contraste ou “taxonomias”, são aprendidos através de definições ostensivas. Em seguida, analiso as concepções de Kuhn de “significado” e “verdade”. Finalmente, discuto um segundo tipo de termo para espécies, não totalmente investigado por ele, que é aprendido junto com as leis científicas.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências2022-07-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/x-mobipocket-ebookapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/9490TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesp; v. 43 n.
