VALENZUELA, Carlos E. The Aesthetic Turn: Border Epistemology. Folios [online]. 2017, n.45, pp.65-71. ISSN 0123-4870.

This article reports on a reading that, to say the least, just peers into the character of that turn which several philosophers, from Nietzsche to Welsh passing by Goodman and Ortega y Gasset, have inspired. I refer to the aesthetic turn, an epistemic move that has persuaded science of renovating within itself the importance of creativity, metaphorization and aestheticization as variables to be taken into account in any knowledge process. That is why this very turn deserves an emphasis, given the centrality it is given as to our ways of conceiving reality and appreciating knowledge.

Palabras clave : Aesthetics; turns; epistemology; reality; knowledge; science.
