Abstract
The article compares the positions of T. Kuhn and R. Rorty regarding the concept of the progress in science and its norms. It is shown that the concept of changing the «vocabulary» as an analog of the paradigm requires a specific doctrine of «redescription». The author demonstrates that despite Rorty’s adherence to Kuhn’s theory of the structure of a scientific revolution, he has to remain largely adherent to the traditional concept of the progress in science.
