Gnoseology and Epistemology as Philosophical Pillars in the Construction of Scientific Knowledge
Main Article Content
Abstract
The primary objective of this work is to analyze, in an integrated manner, the philosophical foundations that underpin the construction of scientific knowledge, with a particular focus on key concepts such as gnoseology and epistemology. This exploration is carried out from a critical and reflective perspective aimed at understanding how the theoretical foundations that guide research practices in various fields of knowledge are configured.
To achieve this purpose, a methodological approach framed within the interpretative paradigm is adopted one that values subjectivity, context, and the co-construction of knowledge. In line with this perspective, a qualitative approach is favored, and the hermeneutic method is employed as the principal analytical tool for interpreting texts, theories, and relevant philosophical traditions.
The research strategy is structured through a systematic review of specialized literature, which allows for the identification, classification, and understanding of the main gnoseological and epistemological positions that have influenced the comprehension of scientific knowledge. From this process, a solid state of the art and a robust theoretical framework are developed, providing critical inputs for analyzing the theoretical, methodological, and axiological dynamics involved in the contemporary production of knowledge within the social sciences and other academic disciplines.
