contents SCIENCE: PERCEPTION AND INSTABILITY. CAN THERE BE A SINGLE DESCRIPTION? Pedro Ruiz-Castell Comunicación Science Science scientific method scientific method scientific knowledge Science has become the main standard of truth for contemporary societies. But what exactly is scientifi c knowledge? This article tries to answer the question by critiquing towards the description of science as a single universal model based on a distinctive method of obtaining knowledge. The text addresses the impossibility of defending the existence of an alleged scientifi c method, highlighting the complexity of scientifi c activity and its relationship to time-bound social and cultural aspects. Thus, we consider the importance of understanding how scientifi c knowledge is constructed and legitimised with a number of connections and interactions of various elements that provide a historical form to what we understand by science. 2015 artículo científico 2174-3487 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=511751360029 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5117 Mètode Science Studies Journal application/pdf Universitat de València Mètode Science Studies Journal (España) Num.5
