Concerning the Epistemology of Design
Design has usually been linked to art and applied in scenarios related to everyday life. Even when design has, on occasion, made its way into the world of academia, it has always been closely linked to art and scenarios related everyday life. At last, however, the idea of design has reached the field of epistemology: an area within the very heart of philosophy that has always focused, in theory, on the foundations of knowledge. Consequently, desi…
Design Function in Innovation Processes
Some words emerge at a given moment to catalyse ideas and give new meaning to old terminology. Innovation and design are two such words. Innovation has traditionally been linked with the Applied Sciences, especially technology, whereas advances in the PureSciences tend to be termed discoveries, inventions, or creations. However, for decades now, innovation has been a leitmotiv in all fields of scientific knowledge in both the Pure and the Applied…
La funció del disseny en els processos d'innovació
HHi ha paraules que, en un moment determinat, emergeixen com a catalitzadores d'idees que prèviament havien tingut altres sentits. Entre elles estan «innovació» i «disseny». La innovació ha estat tradicionalment associada a la ciència aplicada, especialment a la tecnologia, mentre que els canvis en les ciències pures se solien catalogar com a descobriments, invencions o creacions sense més ni més. No obstant això, des de fa unes dècades, la innov…
Doctors as a knowledge and intelligence building group
Pragmatism, as a philosophical option, is concerned with end results and argues that “all our thought-distinctions, however subtle, demand a possible difference of practice.”1 Physicians calculate daily the best plan of action for each patient, following some pragmatic rules: only taking into account different strategies when they lead to different results, the personal effort and moral risks are considered, and if of equal outcome and cost, the …
The Thesis of Theory-Laden Observation in the Light of Cognitive Psychology
The aim of this paper is to analyze a philosophical question (neutrality vs. theoryladenness of observation) taking into consideration the empirical results of Cognitive Psychology (theories of perception). This is an important debate because the objectivity of science is at stake. In the Philosophy of Science there are two main positions with regard to observation, those of C. Hempel and N. R. Hanson. In the Philosophy of Mind there are also two…
Thomas Kuhn
La muerte de Thomas Kuhn el verano de 1996 ha supuesto una pérdida para la comunidad filosófica y científica. Kuhn propuso una teoría sobre las revoluciones científicas en su obra La estructura de las revoluciones científicas, publicada en 1962. El aspecto más novedoso de la obra de Kuhn es su propuesta de un análisis global de la ciencia, teniendo en cuenta tanto los factores internos como externos. Una buena parte de las corrientes en filosofía…
La estructura fina de la revolución química del s. XVIII
La revolución química del siglo XVIII ha sido uno de los casos históricos más estudiados por los filósofos interesados en explicar el progreso de la ciencia. T. Kukn, I. Lakatos, S. Toulmin y L. Laudan, entre otros, hacen referencia a este cambio en sus modelos de cambio científico. La mayoría de los autores hacen análisis globales del paso de la química del flogisto a la química del oxígeno pero descuidan los cambios parciales aunque importantes…
