BRUCE, Beatriz. Exam of a underlying philosophical hypothesis in the theory of the scientific revolutions. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2000, n.15, pp.163-173. ISSN 1668-8104.

The epistemology demands for itself the condition of being a philosophical discipline that directs its reflection toward a special form of knowledge. In its condition of radical thought, should examine the hypothesis that takes like point of support, state explicitly and founded the same. Nevertheless, in some epistemology reflections present, stops the investigation in these borders. They are given of done philosophical adhesions, without justifying the same. One of the theories that has enjoyed greater impact in the philosophy of the science of the last century has been, without place to doubts, it presented by Thomas Kuhn. This it had the virtue of breaking the positivist hegemony and, simultaneously, to expand the interest problems spectrum for the epistemology incorporating the historic-social dimension. Of all ways, is not intention of this job consider the contribution of the theory of the structure of the scientific revolutions in the corpus of the discipline, since the success, the adhesion and the influence that had give tested samples of it. More well I am going to resolve around one of the fundamental problems that I observe in the same one, which I consider that occurs of the carelessness in the critical revision of the concept of ''world", one of the underlying philosophical hypothesis.
