Notes | 'For Fleck, “the incommensurability is not a feature despite which science progresses, albeit in a discontinuous and revolutionary way – as advocated by Kuhn –, but it is a positive characteristic, indicative of the plurality of cognitive approaches – thought styles. A science that does not want to stiffen up in a dogmatic and hierarchical thought collective as that of religion must therefore be open to the incommensurability and to the plurality of thought styles, which provide a “free and more human science”. A science that does not take into account the influence of the thought style cannot indeed claim to be considered rational” \n - Brandon Costelloe-Kuehn'
