El segundo sistema de funciones como marco definitorio de la escala psicológica

Résumé

The nature of this paper is not psychological/scientific but philosophical and it does not talk much about information processing. The interest of this article is a generically philosophical one, this is to say Epistemology or Philosophy of Science and particularly Epistemology of Psychology. The article sketches some epistemological reflections intended to clarify certain aspects that on the author�s opinion are essential to scientific psychology as a field of work already given to epistemological reflection. These are generic reflections even if they look distant to many specific problems of contemporary psychologists, it is true that only within the context of such problems the value of the ideas that have been offered may be confronted. This paper begins by extensively criticizing Kuhn�s concept of paradigm as well as the use that a great part of the psychological community has done of it, and then offers some other reflections on epistemology of psychology
