I've heard (from a source which now escapes me) that later in his life Kuhn retreated from some of the more relativistic claims of The Structure of Sceintific Revolutions. Specifically, I think I remember hearing that he retreated from the claim that paradigms are "incommensurable" to a belief that one paradigm could, in some sense, be considered "better" than another.
Does anyone know if this is correct?
(Alternatively: did Kuhn never believe paradigms to be incommensurable, and I'm just remembering incorrectly?)
