Summary/Abstract: This paper presents ideas from a report held at a conference in honour of the 100th anniversary of Azarya Polikarov. The author shares Polikarov’s view that Thomas Kuhn’s exemplars introduce continuity between disciplinary matrices despite of Kuhn’s own conception of scientific revolutions as radical breaks with the past. Kuhn’s notion of a disciplinary matrix owes much to Carnap’s “linguistic framewoks”, and scientific revolutions are analogous to the solutions of Carnap’s “external questions”. But the unspoken suggestion of exemplars not only acts forwards on future scientific practice. It reaches back to a past tradition, thus connecting an old and a new disciplinary matrix. This tacit connection between disciplinary matrices is the same that binds us in love and faith.
