THE NATURE OF THE "OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE": SOME REFLECTIONS ABOUT SCIENCE AND ITS SOCIAL CONTEXT

In this article, the authors expose how the historic context diachronically marks each new conception of what is "objective knowledge" and, consequently, of what is "science". With this aim, the authors do several reflections on the epistemic value of the objective knowledge as the knowledge of reality that is the most worthy of confidence in a given historic moment, on the inseparable character of the science-scientists binobial, the epistemological problem of establishing mechanisms of "objectification" of the capacity of the sciences to generate knowledge, and the relationship between science and ideology.
