La Ciencia entre el Objetivismo y el ConstruccionismoDOI: 10.4067/S0717-554X2010000200001 Keywords: science, science wars, constructionism, critical realism, critical common-sensism. Abstract: abstract this article proposes an alternative to the discussion between the objectivist and constructionist vision on science. in order to reach such objective, we start from a schematic presentation about what it is called science wars; then, we are going to talk in detail about knor-cetina?s proposal, showing how it leads to antiscientific attitudes. later, we will confront the constructionist thesis taken from knor-cetina with the realistic ones, proposed by giere, kitcher and hacking, in order to moderate the antiscientific positions, cleansing the traditional polarities. finally, the critical common-sensism proposed by susan haack will be outlined and stated as an option to the confrontation between objectivists and constructionists and also, as a moderate way to understand science in the present-day.
