Obwohl der identify Michel Foucault in den letzten Jahren im Wissenschaftsdiskurs nicht mehr wegzudenken ist, ist schwer von der Hand zu weisen, dass seine Diskursanalyse häufig als Label für eine Vielzahl von Arbeiten herhalten muss, die wenig bis gar nichts mit Foucaults Untersuchungsmethoden zu tun haben. Das liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass häufig vergessen wird, dass die Diskursanalyse von Foucault so nicht entwickelt wurde. Der Methodenkomplex innerhalb der Diskursanalyse hat eine eigene Geschichte, die gerade die Grundlage für diskursanalytisches Denken bildet und bilden muss. Foucault anwenden ohne hinter die Tiefenstruktur seiner Untersuchungen zurückzufallen, heißt seine Lektion zu erfassen. Entlang der drei großen methodischen Stationen - Archäologie, Genealogie und Kritik - wird im vorliegenden Buch die Genese seines Denkens skizziert. Um der heiklen Frage nach einer richtigen oder falschen Foucault-Rezeption weitgehend zu entgehen, wird hier der Versuch unternommen, vor allem Foucault selbst durch die zahlreichen Kommentare seiner eigenen Arbeiten anhand der Schriften zu Wort kommen zu lassen.

El Profesor Julio Planchart nos ofrece un interesante y profundo análisis de ese fenómeno trascendental en l. a. cultura contemporánea que denominamos CIENCIA. Se pregunta y da respuestas acerca de: ¿Cómo se originan los conceptos científicos y cómo se transforman a lo largo del tiempo? ¿Cómo se llega a considerar que un conocimiento es cierto y aceptable por todos los miembros de una comunidad científica y luego éste es cuestionado y sustituido por otro? ¿Es l. a. ciencia una continuidad acumulativa de conocimientos o se trata de incesantes revoluciones? ¿Es los angeles crítica o el dogma lo que en última instancia prevalece? ¿Se puede decir que este proceso implica un progreso a diferencia de lo que sucede en otras actividades humanas? ¿Es el progreso un mito o una realidad?

Cuando se habla de Problemas Epistemológicos, tal como se titula el presente libro, el Profesor Planchart se refiere al estudio del fenómeno del conocimiento, pero no de cualquier tipo de conocimiento sino el nivel más elevado que se puede alcanzar, que en el mundo contemporáneo es patrimonio absoluto de los angeles ciencia, así como en los angeles antigüedad clásica griega lo fue de los angeles filosofía y en el período medieval de l. a. teología. l. a. omnipresente y omnipotente ciencia que invade cada átomo de los angeles existencia humana.

Su trabajo es un fascinante viaje a través de l. a. lógica del conocimiento científico, l. a. cual es analizada desde dos perspectivas distintas, una de ellas los angeles de l. a. evolución del pensamiento científico desde el punto de vista histórico y l. a. otra los angeles que se deduce de l. a. propia práctica o del quehacer cotidiano de los científicos. Para ahondar en estos temas, se analizan los planteamientos que hacen filósofos de los angeles ciencia stories como: Thomas Kuhn, Karl Popper, Imre Lakatos, Stephen Toulmin, entre otros, quienes abordan el fenómeno con diferentes enfoques, algunos opuestos otros complementarios, que nos permiten comprender l. a. práctica científica en toda su complejidad. En este texto se esclarecen conceptos, se corrigen malentendidos y se demuestra los angeles extraordinaria dificultad del mecanismo del progreso científico, cuando es examinado sin prejuicios ni simplificaciones.

El prestige Ontológico de l. a. Estructura, subtítulo de esta gran obra, se refiere a l. a. pregunta sobre los angeles relación existente, si es que existe alguna, entre los angeles estructura de las teorías científicas y los angeles estructura de los angeles realidad. El Profesor Planchart se pregunta si las proposiciones de l. a. ciencia “pintan” l. a. realidad, entendiendo pintar como una traducción de l. a. palabra alemana bild, utilizada por Ludwig Wittgenstein en el Tractatus logico-philosophicus. Según Wittgenstein, los hechos poseen una estructura lógica que permite l. a. construcción de proposiciones que representan ese estado de cosas, lo que significa que las proposiciones pintan y que lo que pintan lo vemos en l. a. estructura de l. a. realidad, en el mismo sentido del problema planteado por Descartes cuando nos hablaba de que el orden y conexión de las principles es igual al orden y conexión de las cosas o con l. a. proposal de Galileo de que el lenguaje matemático es el lenguaje con el que l. a. naturaleza nos habla. A todo lo largo del presente libro subyace esta inquietud, planteada además por muchos filósofos, sucintamente, los angeles de los angeles relación existente entre teoría científica y realidad, que podemos también verla reflejada en los angeles Teoría de las rules de Platón, en los angeles concepción de l. a. verdad por correspondencia de Aristóteles, luego expresada por Descartes y más recientemente por el mismo Wittgenstein. Esto último apunta y está íntimamente ligado al problema de l. a. verosimilitud y de los angeles certeza del conocimiento. Adentrémonos entonces en esta magnífica aventura del pensamiento.
