- Hume's revenge Renan Freita Springer de Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) Scientific knowledge Evolutive epistemology Symmetrical anthropology Wittegensteinian pragmatism Alexandre Koyré has named the scientific revolution of the XVIIth century as Plato?s revenge. The author suggests that the XXth century saw a similar, if much less spectacular, revenge, that of Hume?s naturalism. By Hume?s naturalism he means the view that every conceivable epistemological project is doomed to failure since there is nothing to be said about knowledge with the exception of what can result from an inquiry into the origins of people?s beliefs. In this century, this view echoed in the thoughts of Dewey and Wittgenstein, and culminated in Bloor?s ?strong sociology of knowledge?, in Rorty?s wittgensteinian pragmatism, and in Latour?s ?symmetrical anthropology?. He argues that these different versions of humean naturalism lie in a predarwinian conception of knowledge, which should profitably be replaced with a genuine Darwinian view. 2000 artículo científico 0102-6909 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10704202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=107 Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Ciências Sociais Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais (Brasil) Num.42 Vol.15
