Book Epistemolog  a Evolucionista  Una Visi  n Integral

Download or read book Epistemolog a Evolucionista Una Visi n Integral written by José Padrón Guillén and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documento del año 2017 en eltema Filosofía - Teoría (cognición, ciencia, lógica, idioma), Nota: -, , Materia: SEMINARIO DE TEORÍA DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN, Idioma: Español, Resumen: A pesar de las posibles apariencias del título, este documento no es descriptivo ni didáctico: no pretende ilustrar en términos noticiosos ni de reseña acerca de la concepción evolucionista de la Epistemología. Más bien, considerando una concepción evolucionista de la Epistemología como una excelente trayectoria y oportunidad de desarrollo, pretende postular un cierto estatuto meta-científico de la Epistemología, es decir, pretende esbozar una propuesta para la concepción de la Epistemología en cuanto disciplina particular dentro del universo de las Ciencias, enraizada en el camino trazado por una concepción evolucionista, con determinadas características que se explicarán y se argumentarán a lo largo de este trabajo. La idea de fondo es configurar una determinada noción de la Epistemología que, vinculándose a una base evolucionista, conjugue una visión cognitiva, humanizada, naturalizada, integral, no filosófica sino fáctica, con base teórica y con derivaciones tecnológicas, orientada a una explicación eficiente de los procesos de producción científica, asociados a correlativos sistemas operativos, procedimentales e instrumentales. Esto redundaría en lo que personalmente he estado llamando Teoría y Tecnología de la Investigación. La “Teoría” sustituiría toda especulación filosófica, toda ambigüedad retórica, toda concepción relativista y subjetivista y toda intención normativa. La “Tecnología” sustituiría a lo que hasta ahora se ha considerado como Metodología de la Investigación, un área que suele ser controlada por autores de manuales escolarizados y por profesores que rara vez investigan, pero que se atreven a enseñar a investigar. Una Tecnología de la Investigación no se ocuparía de normar ni de imponer recetas, sino de ofrecer herramientas de trabajo, que van desde aquellas de tipo mental hasta aquellas de tipo informático, pasando por las de orden aptitudinal e, incluso, axiológico. Hacia todo esto apunta una visión que parte de una perspectiva naturalizada y que llega a una integración entre una perspectiva cognitiva y una perspectiva evolucionista, pertenecientes más a la Cognición o a la Psicología que a la Filosofía y al Esoterismo. No se trata, entonces, de un documento enciclopédico, sino más bien argumentativo. Es, al fin y al cabo, una propuesta razonada.

Book The Social Metabolism

    Book Details:
  • Author : Manuel González de Molina
  • Publisher : Springer
  • Release : 2014-06-30
  • ISBN : 3319063588
  • Pages : 368 pages

Download or read book The Social Metabolism written by Manuel González de Molina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over this last decade, the concept of Social Metabolism has gained prestige as a theoretical instrument for the required analysis, to such an extent that there are now dozens of researchers, hundreds of articles and several books that have adopted and use this concept. However, there is a great deal of variety in terms of definitions and interpretations, as well as different methodologies around this concept, which prevents the consolidation of a unified field of new knowledge. The fundamental aim of the book is to conduct a review of the past and present usage of the concept of social metabolism, its origins and history, as well as the main currents or schools that exist around this concept. At the same time, the reviews and discussions included are used by the authors as starting points to draw conclusions and propose a theory of socio-ecological transformations. The theoretical and methodological innovations of this book include a distinction of two types of metabolic processes: tangible and intangible; the analysis of the social metabolism at different scales (in space and time) and a theory of socio-ecological change overcoming the merely “systemic” or “cybernetic” nature of conventional approaches, giving special protagonism to collective action.

Book Individualism Old and New

Download or read book Individualism Old and New written by John Dewey and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2009-12-02 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America''s most renowned social philosopher John Dewey shines his powerful intellect on the serious public and cultural issues surrounding the place of the individual in a technologically advanced society. In this penetrating study, he addresses the fear that personal creative potential will be trampled by assembly-line monotony, political bureaucracy, and an industrialized culture of uniformity. Armed with his pragmatic approach and his belief in the power of critical intelligence, Dewey argues that individualism has in fact been offered a uniquely higher plane of technological development upon which to grow, mature, and redefine itself.

  • Author : Adrián Gorelik
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2022-01-18
  • ISBN : 9781951634209
  • Pages : 478 pages

Download or read book The Grid and the Park written by Adrián Gorelik and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in Spanish in 1998, The Grid and the Park not only revitalized studies on the history of Buenos Aires, but also laid the foundation for a specific type of cultural work on the city -an urban perspective for cultural history, as its author would describe it- that has had a sustained impact in Latin America. Public space, embodied in the grid of city blocks and the park system, here appears as a particularly productive category because it encompasses dimensions of the material city, politics, and culture, which are usually studied separately. From Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's figurations of Palermo Park in the mid-nineteenth century to Jorge Luis Borges's discovery of the suburb in the 1920s; from the modernization of the traditional center carried out by Mayor Torcuato de Alvear in the 1880s to the questioning of that centrality by the emergence of the suburban barrio, the book weaves the changing ideas on public space with urban culture to produce a new history of the metropolitan expansion of Buenos Aires, one of the most extensive and dynamic urban centers of the early twentieth century.

Book Science  Technology and Society

Download or read book Science Technology and Society written by Wenceslao J. González and published by Netbiblo. This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emphasis on the realm of Science, Technology and Society or Science and Technology Studies may have the same degree of relevance that the “historical turn” had in the past. It is a “social turn” which affects philosophy of science as well as philosophy of technology. It includes a new vision of the aims, processes and results of scientific activities and technological doings, because the focus of attention is on several aspects of science and technology which used to be considered as secondary, or even irrelevant. This turn highlights science and technology as social undertakings rather than intellectual contents. According to this new vision, there are several important changes as to what should be studied the objects of research, how it should be studied the method and what the consequences for those studies are. The new focus of attention can be seen in many changes, and among them are several of special interest: a) from what science and technology are in themselves (mainly, epistemic contents) to how science and technology are made (largely, social constructions); b) from the language and structure of basic science to the characteristics of applied science and the applications of science; c) from technology as a feature through which human beings control their natural surroundings (a step beyond “technics” due to the contribution of science) to technology as a social practice and an instrument of power; and d) from the role of internal values necessary for “mature science” and “innovative technology” to the role of contextual or external values (cultural, political, economic ...) of science and technology. Wenceslao J. Gonzalez is professor of logic and philosophy of science at the University of A Coruña (Spain). He has been vicedean of the School of Humanities and president of the Committee of Doctoral Programs at the University. He has been a visting researcher at the Universities of St. Andrews, Münster and London (London School of Economics), as well as Visiting fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh. He has given lectures at the Universities of Pittsburgh, Stanford, Quebec and Helsinki. The conferences in which he has participated include those organized by the Universities of Uppsala, New South Wales, Bologne and Canterbury (New Zealand). He has edited 20 volumes and published 70 papers. He is the editor of the monographic issues on Philosophy and Methodology of Economics (1998) and Lakatos’s Philosophy Today (2001). His writings include “Economic Prediction and Human Activity. An Analysis of Prediction in Economics from Action Theory” (1994), “On the Theoretical Basis of Prediction in Economics” (1996), “Rationality in Economics and Scientific Predictions: A Critical Reconstruction of Bounded Rationality and its Role in Economic Predictions” (1997), “Lakatos’s Approach on Prediction and Novel Facts” (2001), “Rationality in Experimental Economics: An Analysis of R.
