AB - What Kuhn tried to develop until his last life was the truth that would be established in a ‘lexicon’. The term lexicon is actually the same as the former term paradigm. Kuhn has critical stance against correspondence theory of truth. He refutes the idea that truth exists regardless of paradigm or lexicon or that truth exists beyond paradigm or lexicon. So, Kuhn’s truth is ‘local’ rather than global. Putnam raises ‘rational acceptability’ as substitute of correspondence theory of truth. According to his opinion, a theory or description could not be true or false as result of their correspondence to fixed reality. Rather, a theory or description corresponds not to fixed reality but to experience which is represented in our certain system of beliefs. Kuhn does not deny the concept of truth itself. He denies only the concept of truth connected with correspondence theory of truth. Putnam avoids using the concept of truth. So, there comes his rational acceptability. We see this his notion of truth in lexicon or truth in paradigm. I see that there are similar aspects between Kuhn’s view on truth within a paradigm or lexicon and Putnam’s rational acceptability. I examine minutely similarities in the two positions.
