A Filosofia da Ciência sob o Signo dos Science Studies
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: This paper is about the reasons for the impasse in contemporary philosophy of science. This is related to the fact that philosophy of science is no longer supposed to be responsible for the legitimacy of science as a special kind of knowledge. In face of this, it is presented the main features of a recent conception of science – the Science Studies – which seems to be more promising than earlier meta-scientific views. The philosophical agenda of the Science Studies takes into consideration the results obtained from recent historiography of science over the last thirty years.
