Notes for a sociology of philosophy. Science, Ethics and Truth

Abstract

This essay begins by questioning the issue, in terms of considering the relevance of these notes given the number of items that are considered relevant to this objective. Then reflect on the call hierarchy of knowledge, in which the obligation to be in the world, versus what it is, as an object of philosophy as an object we consider metaphysical and idealistic, far removed from the goals of a critical philosophy and a science social critical (to which we adhere) to then link this problem with that: the “homology positions” where we try to see only if sociologists like Bourdieu or Habermas, philosophy facing the same issues as the sociology poses to any object in the social world, without assuming further testing or from such “homology”. Then we get into the issue of personalization of philosophical practice and studies, detailing several problems that practice. Then we’ll try to answer the question of whether is philosophy should survive? What is related and attempts to respond to the four theses suggested by Habermas to answer. Finally we outline a rearticulation of the treaty with the elements: science, ethics and truth.
