BECERRA, Gastón  and  CASTORINA, José Antonio. About The Constructivist Notion Of “Epistemic Framework”: A Comparison With Kuhn’s “Paradigm” Notion. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.31, pp.9-28. ISSN 1850-0013.

From constructivist epistemology inspired in Piaget’s work, the notion of “epistemic framework”has been proposed to deal with the problem of the relation between society and scientific knowledge. In this paper we intend to provide conceptual precisions about this notion, determining its scopes and highlighting its specificities. For that purpose, we propose a comparison with Thomas S. Khun’s notion of “paradigm”.
