Situated Rationality: For a microscopic analysis of scientific Work

Ortega-Caro, Cristian

Keywords: epistemology, production of knowledge, Located rationality, Scientific decisions

Abstract

In what follows, presents a proposal that discussed the production of scientific knowledge from a microscopic perspective, since the classical epistemology (as critical rationalism or Scientific Research Programs), sociology rules of the Science (such as the proposal of Merton) and the Scientometrics fail to express the intersubjective meaning that acquired internal components (logical and methodological) of scientific work. This proposes the concept of "located rationality" in both mechanisms that directs the creation of knowledge, the decisions that this implies, the material location of scientists and the contextual use of the methodological components of the research scientific.
