MANRIQUE TISNES, Horacio  e  DE CASTRO CORREA, Alberto. Reality, theory and commensurability: reflections on intellectual fashions in psychology. CES Psicol [online]. 2016, vol.9, n.1, pp.65-88. ISSN 2011-3080.

The aim of this article is to question some of the intellectual fashions in psychology, and show a possibility of analyzing them from conceiving theories as dialects (Ramírez, 2011a). Initially, different records, types and levels of reality are posed. In a second stage, theory is defined and its relation with reality is determined. In a third stage, based on the previous development, it is proposed that theories are like dialects and, as such many of them can be "spoken" by the same person. Finally, it is considered that the hypothesis above mentioned contributes to a non-dogmatic analysis, which prevents, in part, uncritical adherence to intellectual fashions of psychology.
