MAX PLANCK ENTRE ABSOLUTOS Y PROBABILIDAD: La tensión entre principios racionales en la emergencia de una nueva forma de ver el mundo

Abstract

If science is understood as activity of knowledge within a socio-cultural context requires a review of the factors that influence it and determine its products, on which special attention it’s paid because its effects are included in the same context. But analyzing the science, which goes beyond the products, it’s seen the importance of the role of the researcher, because he elaborates the image on the behavior of nature from a scientific discipline. In this regard, the review of the factors that cross the researcher's knowledge activity leads to reflect on the significance of scientific work that exceeds the tracking method and to place the scientific activity in the epistemological level. One of these factors, discussed in this work is the tension between the rational principles that guide the task of the researcher Over three chapters is presented the tension between absolute–probability as rational activity, that allowed Max Planck address their concerns and needs on the scientific community in the last decade of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century. The emergences of the tension absolute–probability are discussed from the changes to level ontologic, logic and methodological of work of Planck. Consequently, it holds that the tension between rational principles influence straightly in the world’s conception from which the researcher conducts his explications.
