Resumen:
This paper explores Thomas Kuhns intellectual history by examining sources that have been understudied so far: the Lowell Lectures of 1951 (The Quest for Physical Theory) and the hitherto unpublished Notre Dame Lectures of 1980. The analysis of these texts aims to reconstruct Kuhns development of a semantics that can account for scientific progress. This analysis will show that the alleged linguistic turn attributed to the author is actually renewed interest in problems that existed well before publishing The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
