Breves Considerações Epistemológicas à Luz da Dialética Moderna, da Teoria da Falibilidade de Karl Popper e do Princípio Responsabilidade de Hans Jonas

Abstract

Reflecting and understanding the process of knowledge formation is essential for the development of all science. We sought to draw an overview from traditional epistemological currents to modern dialectics, especially under Karl Popper's fallibilist theory and Hans Jonas's principle of responsibility. Therefore, an explanation was made about empiricism and rationalism, with emphasis on some of the currents emanating from these two schools.
Subsequently, dialectical thinking and its main ramifications and criticisms of traditional schools became evident. This analysis resulted in the constatation that dialectics is the current that best explains the subject-object relationship in the process of knowledge formation, as well as the importance of error and the development of a universal ethics based on responsibility for the safe progress of science.
