The collapse of inter-theoretical reductionismDOI: 10.2298/theo1104031s Keywords: inter-theoretical reductionisam , scientific revolution , cumulativity , retencionism , incomensurability , underdeterination , Thomas Kuhn , Paul Feyerabend Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explain why the inter-theoretical reductionism is completely unacceptable. In other words, the basic thesis defended here is that in the case of transition from the old to the new theory - when they are separated by scientific revolution - very often, no kind of important elements from the old theory remain preserved in the new one.
