’This book is written by a philosopher who understands the issues and the nuances of key ideas, and who has also taken time to engage with the material from an historical perspective... All in all an insightful read for anyone interested in the question of incommensurability.’ Metapsychology ’... Gattei has written a book that sets a standard on scholarship on Kuhn’s work.’ Philosophy in Review 'Thomas Kuhn's 'Linguistic Turn' and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism, which stems from Gattei’s doctoral dissertation, will be of wider interest to historians with a side interest in the philosophy of science itself or in one strand of the intellectual response to science and culture in the tumultuous twentieth century - and to anyone seeking an answer to the question ’Whatever happened to Thomas Kuhn?’.'
