Abstract

"œ¿Podemos dar a nuestras facultades cognitivas una legitimación biológica?"La búsqueda de la justificación de los métodos, o criterios de la ciencia, no es un mero ejercicio académico. El artí­culo analiza la influyente respuesta a este problema que ha proporcionado la epistemologí­a evolutiva, constituida por dos familias diferentes Una busca analogí­as entre la evolución de la vida y la de la historia de las ideas, en particular, la de nuestra cambiante ciencia; se interesa en la comprensión del crecimiento del conocimiento sobre una base individual o de especie y, para ello invoca, analogí­as con la selección natural. La otra familia intenta comprender, explicar y justificar nuestras habilidades cognoscitivas mentales básicas y nuestras propensiones metodológicas innatas solamente como el resultado de mecanismos evolutivos tal y como son entendidos en la actualidad."œCan we give our cognitive faculties a biological legitimation?"The search for just ification of the methods, or citeria of science, is not a mere academic exercise. The article analizes the influential answer to this problem, provided by the evolutive epistemology, constituted by two diferent families. One of them searches for analogies between life evolution and history of ideas, particularly, the history of our changing science; it is interested in the comprehension of the growing of knowledge over and individual or specie base and, to achieve this, it invokes analogies with natural selection. The other family tries to comprehend, explain and justify our basic cognitive mental abilities and our innate methodological tendencies just as the result of evolutive mechanism as they are understood at present
