VARELA MACHADO, OLGA  y  GUTIERREZ VALDERRAMA, JULIANA. STYLES AND STRATA FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF SCIENTIFIC CONTROVERSIES. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2022, vol.71, suppl.8, pp.113-137.  Epub 19-Jun-2024. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v71n8supl.102057.

In this article we propose a category for the study of scientific controversies, controversies about styles, and suggest a tool of analysis to give an account of this sort of disagreement. To do this, we use Ian Hacking's notion of style of reasoning and the metaphor of a stratified history. We will show that controversies of styles have traits: they persist over time, evolve, and include discussions and debates on multiple levels. We present the quantum controversy as a case of a controversy about styles and make use of the tool we have suggested to illustrate our proposal.

Palabras clave : scientific controversies; quantum controversy; styles of reasoning; strata.
