In Search of New Paradigms of Science in the Time of Globalization

Abstract

Globalization can be seen from different points of view; we want to see it as a possibility to build new systems of rationality. Currently, according to Charles P. Snow, Ilya Prigogine and Fritjof Capra, we are on the threshold of a new paradigm of rationality, a new concept of “scientific objectivity,” based on a different theory of rationality, which highlights the complementary and interdisciplinary character/nature and does not contradict the experimental sciences —that create and manipulate their objects— and the human sciences, which have as a problem, the description of the senses they find in realities. This article tries to find new proposals in the field of scientific thought that can respond to new challenges of a society in times of globalization.
