The book: Incommensurability of Scientific Paradigms written by Gholam Hossein Moghadam Heidari published by Nashre Ney in 2006. The author’s aim is to illustrate the theory of incommensurability of Thomas Kuhn by explaining it. The structure of the book is formed based on explaining the theoretical foundations of Kuhn’s theory according to historiography, Gestaltism, the definition of the concept of incommensurability, and at last, by studying the function of this theory. The strong points of the book cause the incommensurability approach of Kuhn in his work: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, to be explained simply and clearly by using historical evidence. So, this paper tries to find an answer to this question: Whether the author of this book could be able to present Kuhn’s theory of incommensurability from all its aspects and according to his intellectual evolution or not?
