De los hechos al descubrimiento científico: apuntes teóricos para una puesta en práctica 

Hortolà, Policarp

In this work, the authors reflect on how the logic of the discovery has been secularly the basis of the explanations of our historical reality. The objectivity of the facts and the subjectivity of the action proposed by the theory certify a body of very contradictory dynamical type that constitutes, without doubt, the motor of all knowledge. The scientist that carries out research through a theoretical body, conscious or unconsciously accepts a series of rules peculiar to the scientific methodology. We know that a theory operates and that our contribution is important if it is capable of being used to predict and even to formulate new ad hoc enunciates that reinforce and extend the own basic theoretical body or hard-liner of the knowledge of each epoch. All the normativistic strategy is a consequence of the need of rules so that the members of the scientific community could be understood between them and in order to subject the discoveries to confrontations, verifications and falsifications. Upon putting the scientific method on action and contrasting our hypotheses through the experiment, we the human attempt to control the variables that, ultimately, had allowed the life in our planet.

Keywords: Epistemology, metascience, logic of the discovery, scientific method, experimentation.
