QUINTANILLA FISAC, Miguel Ángel. Philosophical challenges of science policy. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.28, pp.89-104. ISSN 1850-0013.
Science is an important part of the cultural subsystem of most advanced societies. And it is not alone: it interacts with the rest of the culture, the economy and politics. In the field of science policy, there are many conceptual problems that philosophers do not usually pay much attention to. This paper analyses some of these challenges, such as the relationship between political power and science, the justification of social support to basic research or the characterization of content relevance and originality of the results of scientific research. In order to achieve this study, the conceptual framework of the philosophy of science of Mario Bunge and his theory of scientific realism are used.
