T. Kuhn eta modernitatearen mitoa: postmodernitatearen nihilismoa uxatzen duen zientzia-gintza errealaren azterketa

Abstract

In this article, and in following Kuhn’s writings, I will try to defend the new image of knowledge and rationality shown by the study of real scientific activity. Considering science a special activity carried out by a team, the scientific fact will be the eventual result of a social process. Therefore, objectivity will be the result of the agreement reached by an institutionalization process based on persuasion. However, to underline the value of anomalies take us to the representational nature of knowledge which is far from relativism. Anyway, all this won’t lead us to irrationality, but to a new rationality model based on values that allow plurality in science.
