Filosofía de la Ciencia

Abstract

The philosophy of science constitutes a field of research relatively young and in constant expansion, a field whose fecundity and relevance respond to the very nature of its object of study. Critical reflection on science, as well as an adequate assessment of its social and environmental impact, require considering the scientific phenomenon in all its complexity, analyzing its various dimensions and contexts. This interest in the ways of doing science - by scientific activity - arises with the recognition of the profound changes that have marked its historical development, not only at the level of theories but also in the methods and objectives of research.
