Resumen
ALVARGONZALEZ, David. Generic and Specific Traits of Sciences. Eidos [online]. 2020, n.32, pp.18-39. Epub 01-Ago-2020. ISSN 1692-8857. https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.32.001.42.
In this paper, I will discuss what specific traits distinguish sciences from other historical institutions. First I will review several philosophies conceiving sciences having in mind constitutive, but generic, features. This is the case when sciences are understood as explanation, as comprehension, as knowledge, as description, as representation, as construction, as cultural institution, as experimentation and elaboration of hypotheses, as theory, and as instrument of domination and intervention on reality. I put forward certain specific traits of theorems and scientific fields that allow us to distinguish sciences from other historical formations.
