Abstract

This paper deals with two authors that offer important contributions to their respective fields. However, they mat be approached by something more. We intent to show possible relation between the Philosophy of Science developed by Thomas S. Kuhn and the Philosophy of Language by Ludwig Wittgenstein. Our first step consists in presenting briefly the concepts of the Wittgenstein’s Philosophy and his biographic informations that is relevant to understand his work, and doing the same thing by Kuhn’s work (restricted it the period which goes until 1969, when, officially he reviewed some concepts of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions). Finally, given precedent conditions, we will present approximations between these two authors, which is the main goal of our study.
