Abstract

Abstract.-“Science as an object of sociological study” presents a theoretical reflection about the attributes of science that makes it a sociological matter of interest. Since science operates in a world composed of strong territorial, linguistic, cultural and political / ideological differences, it has been in the midst of a controversy between those who maintain that it is determined by social factors and those who conceive it as an entity that develops with a relative autonomy of them. The article argues that the tension between one conception and another diminishes when conceiving the rigorousness that distinguishes scientific methodology, not only as cognitive rules but also as symbolic ways which have been created and shared socially to materialize the consubstantial ethical principles of scientific rationality. Keywords: Sociology of Science, Scientific Knowledge, Scientific Method, Ethic of Science La Ciencia Como Objeto de Estudio Sociológico Resumen.- "La ciencia como objeto de estudio sociológico" presenta una reflexión teórica sobre los atributos de la ciencia que la convierten en una cuestión de interés sociológico. Dado que la ciencia opera en un mundo compuesto por fuertes diferencias territoriales, lingüísticas, culturales y político / ideológicas, ha estado en medio de una controversia entre quienes sostienen que la misma está determinada por factores sociales y aquellos que la conciben como una entidad que se desarrolla con una relativa autonomía de ellos. El artículo argumenta que la tensión entre una concepción y otra disminuye al concebir la rigurosidad que distingue a la metodología científica, no solo como reglas cognitivas sino también como formas simbólicas que se han creado y compartido socialmente para materializar los principios éticos consustanciales de la racionalidad científica. Palabras clave: Sociología de la Ciencia, Conocimiento Científico, Método Científico, Ética de la Ciencia.
