BELGRANO, Mateo. World and Paradigm in Heidegger and Kuhn. Franciscanum [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.175, pp.2-2.  Epub 25-Abr-2021. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.4716.

The aim of this article is to compare Heidegger's philosophy of science with that of Thomas Kuhn. This comparison has two objectives: 1) to use Kuhn's conceptual arsenal to make Heidegger's position clearer; and 2) to show that Heidegger's and Kuhn's positions are not as different as might be expected. Consequently, I may suggest that these philosophies can be compatible. I will show that while there are differences, also there are many continuities. I will address three issues: 1) the differences and similarities between Kuhn's notion of the paradigm and Heidegger's notion of the world; 2) the analogous concepts of «normal science» and «calculating thought»; and 3) the source of intelligibility in both authors. The main difference between the two thinkers, I believe, lies therein.
