ROLLERI, José Luis. The Problem of World Change: A Conceptualist Approach. Prax. filos. [online]. 2021, n.53, pp.11-30.  Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i53.11310.

From Kuhn´s theses about scientific revolutions and incommensurable paradigms it seems that a problem could be derived, known as the problem of world change. Here I intend an examination of that problem ―which has both a semantic face and an ontological face― in order to elucidate it and to show that Kuhn´s taxonomic solution and Hacking´s nominalist solution to it are not only compatible but even complementary, that together provides a dual solution, an ontosemantic one.
