Abstract
Scientific rationality, considered a well established issue in other periods, has been seen as a problematic one by several thinkers. One of the main difficulties to conceive scientific rationality lies in making the application of universal models of rationality compatible with varying research circumstances. This article is an attempt to understand the rational that does not reduce it to the universalization of investigative criteria and to empirical and logical reasons. Such an understanding leads to the proposal of a contextual scientific rationality. This rationality would be dependent on the circumstances in which thinking operates and would not impose a priori principles that determine and demarcate ideas to be explored and considered relevant to science. Key words: universalization, practice, contextuality, scientific rationality.
