[en] THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE AND KARL PAUL FEYERABEND S EPISTEMOLOGICAL ANARCHISM / [pt] O PROGRESSO DA CIÊNCIA E O ANARQUISMO EPISTEMOLÓGICO DE KARL PAUL FEYERABEND

IVAN LUIZ GONCALVES PINTO 06 March 2007 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação apresenta um panorama da epistemologia contemporânea e mostra as idéias do filósofo Karl Paul Feyerabend em relação ao progresso da ciência. O nosso texto procura responder, principalmente, à seguinte questão: como um filósofo que vê a ciência como um empreendimento anárquico e sem fundamento pensa sobre o progresso científico? Para isso fazemos uma reconstrução histórica do ambiente cultural com o qual Feyerabend esteve envolvido e da sua carreira filosófica. Esta reconstrução procura mostrar as condições que produziram o Círculo de Viena que, por sua vez, influenciou muitos pensadores preocupados com as questões da ciência e seu progresso, como Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos e Laudan. Estes filósofos terão suas epistemologias brevemente analisadas, pois foram importantes na formação do pensamento feyerabendiano. Concluímos com uma defesa do anarquismo epistemológico, pois consideramos que a questão do progresso da ciência em Feyerabend deve ser entendida a partir das bases desta doutrina. / [en] This dissertation gives a panorama of contemporary epistemology and present philosopher Karl Paul Feyerabend s ideas on the progress of science. We attempt to address mainly the following topic: what are the thoughts of a philosopher on scientific progress who sees science as an enterprise of anarchy and without a foundation? In our attempt at providing an answer, we make a historical reconstruction of the cultural atmosphere in which Feyerabend was involved and of his philosophical career. This reconstruction shows the conditions that produced the Vienna Circle, which influenced many thinkers at the time who were concerned with the subjects of science and progress, like Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos and Laudan. These philosophers will have their epistemologies briefly analyzed since they were important in the formation of Feyerabendian thought. We conclude with a defense of epistemological anarchism as we contend that the subject of science s progress in Feyerabend should be understood from the bases of this doctrine.
