Meet John Searle

"The other point that Tom [Thomas Kuhn] made, this is frequently cited, is that he says that after a scientific revolution scientists live in different worlds, that the world of Aristotle is a different world from the world of Newton. Now that is not right. I have actually been to Greece and it's not a different world. The world that Aristotle lived in—actually I've been in both countries, England and Greece—and I can tell you it is a mistake to say that they are different worlds." (Searle 1999, Rorty v. Searle, At Last: A Debate)
