Abstract
The article discusses a project of social epistemology, which implies the interaction between different spheres of culture, in terms of the problem of incommensurability of theories. Various interpretations of the term "incommensurability" are analyzed and their applicability to the current scientific process is assessed. It is shown that in spite of different interpretations of incommensurability, there are still opportunities for interaction between scientific communities, communication and cultural exchange.
