Kitcher and Organization of Scientific Research

an Analysis of Science From Ideals of the Economy Models

Abstract

This paper shows Kitcher´s work of Science Research Organization. We argue that copyright purpose is valuable. Scientists to pursue their own interests (not necessarily epistemic) can achieve scientific truth (argument born of the economy). The fact of integrating social and individual development of science elements and to achieve knowledge is an advance on traditional epistemology and relativistic epistemology; however this social epistemology development has a limitation in terms of its individualist ontological perspective. This development aproachs allows only see the scientist as an agent theory strategically choose where you want to enroll. The painting of science thus achieved simply illustrates the work of scientists of toys offering a limited position of scientific work. We suggest new analyzes routes in order to approach scientific work as a complement of a social epistemology development with more appropriate social ontology to the purpose of the organization.
