Description
Summary:The work aims to investigate the relationship between the ideas of Thomas Kuhn about scientific rationality and those related to the relationship between science and reality. In this sense, puts Kuhn’s anti-realism as an essential element of the theory of rationality developed throughout his work, relationship that must be corroborated by explaining how this anti-realism is rather an assumption of this theory of rationality than a necessary implication of the historical observations of Kuhn. In the end, the work hopes to make clear that any reading of this author that separates these two dimensions of his work runs the risk of ignoring the depth of his thought.
