Falsación y verificación: dos rutas que conducen a la construcción del conocimiento

Abstract

Although the construction of knowledge has been consolidated as a priority need for man, this process has required the generation of roads or routes that lead to the consolidation of ideas that facilitate the search for truth, that is why the scientific method has supported the process of consolidation of models in favor of the detailed understanding of the world and the phenomena that are in it. For many people, the philosophy of science with the passage of time has been based on verification, this being the tool that from the Vienna Circle, with the contributions of Popper allowed to understand a bit the reality, assimilate the concepts that are disposition of man and with those who from different perspectives on the perception of the world, had an approach on the reason for existing (Asensi-Artiga and Parra-Pujante, 2002); Even so, the news ratifies the leading role of falsification, from which the possibility of constructing knowledge through the exercise of falsification is generated, leading to the consolidation of a system of ideas from which the conception of the world, of human existence and of the reason for existing, they converge to show man the scenarios on which a truth can be constructed (Guerrero, 2015).
