A comparison of Derrida and Davidson on incommensurable scientific languages
Abstract
Donald Davidson denies that there are incommensurable scientific languages: languages which cannot be translated into our contemporary language. What about Derrida? What is his perspective on this matter? This paper presents a broadly Derridean objection to Susan Carey’s argument for incommensurability.Author's Profile
