| Resumen: |
The dominant narrative present in much of current psychological research and teaching is that which sees empirical science in general as a very special program of activity, having as its goal what Richard Rorty has called "Redemptive Truth". That is ". . a set of beliefs which would end, once and for all, the process of reflection on what to do with ourselves" (2000 p2); a belief that there is ". . something behind the appearance, the one true description of what is going on, the final secret"(2000 p. 2), fulfilling the need that religion and philosophy have attempted to satisfy. Because they carry humanity's hopes for the future on their shoulders, scientists see themselves as special people, carefully trained and who go about their tasks in equally special ways. Care must be taken with measures, observations must be objective and correct procedures must be followed in order to avoid the observer contaminating the observed and to guarantee that results are fit for consideration. |
