Kuhn’s philosophy is known as the beginning of thpost-positivistic period. In this essay by reviewing Kuhn's critiques on empiricism we'll see that by weakening and justifying the epistemic roles of experience he tries to support and expand the relativism to the realm of natural sciences. Although Kuhn seriously criticizes the Vienna Circle, he at the same time maintains some of positivist principles. Thus, according to some interpretations Kuhn’s relativism is the logical consequence of some positivistic foundations and therefore his view is the continuation of positivism. Evaluation evidences of this claim would be the end of this essay.
