Abstract
Abstract The sociology of knowledge that became established as an academic discipline ‘lives’ alongside another that never did so, but nevertheless manifests itself within other disciplines, including the philosophy of science, the history of science, and intellectual history. I discuss the ways in which each of them has evolved. I argue that while the former works by reflecting on the conditions of possibility of the production of knowledge about knowledge itself, the nature of the knowledge produced under these conditions, the metatheoretical ‘dilemmas’ that supposedly plague the production of this knowledge, the means by which these dilemmas can be ‘overcome,’ the conceptual problems supposedly involved in the production of this knowledge, and the ways through which these conceptual problems can be solved, the latter works by offering solutions to specific empirical problems.
期刊介绍:
Sociologia & Antropologia busca contribuir para a divulgação, expansão e aprimoramento do conhecimento sociológico e antropológico em seus diversos campos temáticos e perspectivas teóricas, valorizando a troca profícua entre as distintas tradições teóricas que configuram as duas disciplinas. Sociologia & Antropologia almeja, portanto, a colaboração, a um só tempo crítica e compreensiva, entre as perspectivas sociológica e antropológica, favorecendo a comunicação dinâmica e o debate sobre questões teóricas, empíricas, históricas e analíticas cruciais. Reconhecendo a natureza pluriparadigmática do conhecimento social, a Revista valoriza assim as oportunidades de intercâmbio entre pontos de vista convergentes e divergentes nesses diferentes campos do conhecimento. Essa é a proposta expressa pelo símbolo “&”, que, no título da revista Sociologia & Antropologia, interliga as denominações das disciplinas que nos referenciam. Sociologia & Antropologia aceita os seguintes tipos de contribuição: 1) Artigos inéditos (até 9 mil palavras incluindo referências bibliográficas e notas) 2) Registros de pesquisa (até 4.400 palavras). Esta seção inclui: Apresentação de fontes e documentos de interesse para a história das ciências sociais Notas de pesquisa com fotografias Balanço bibliográfico de temas e questões das ciências sociais 3) Resenhas bibliográficas (até 1.600 palavras). 4) Entrevistas
