Abstract
The text presents Ajdukiewicz's radical conventionalism and Kuhn's concept of scientific revolutions, especially in view of the question about progress in science and evolution of its language. It shows the similarity and complementarity of those concepts, as well as their later liberalization, which also developed similarly in many points.
Keywords:: conceptual apparatus; language rationalization; paradigm; radical conventionalism; scientific revolutions; untranslatability
