EL PROBLEMA DE LA EVALUACIóN DE LAS TEORíAS CIENTíFICAS

in this paper, i intend to defend the thesis that, in the process of evaluating scientific theories, there are logical and observational elements, but these are not unique: there are pragmatic elements too. the individual judgment of the scientists of a particular community and the state of development of a theory are pragmatic elements in the evaluation process. so, we can say that in this process a logical and a pragmatic rationality are involved.
