CAMBIO TEóRICO EN LAS FRONTERAS DEL RACIONALISMO CRíTICO: CONMENSURABILIDAD Y REFUTACIóN PROGRESIVA EN LAS CIENCIAS SOCIALESDOI: 10.4067/S0718-22012011000100017 Keywords: critical rationalism, theoretical change, epistemic change, falsability, progressive refutation. Abstract: under the inspiration of karl popper's epistemology, we introduce a reflection that brings awereness of how social theories are subject to a particular process of epistemic change. for this reason a substantive model --progressive, historical and intrepetative-- is proposed to reveal the empirical space of the theories, an invitation to object the development of the sciences (in particular the social sciences) that contains, in addition and indirectly, a critical view to the historical current of the epistemology; all this from our proposal: the model of progressive refutation.
