O Antifundacionalismo e a Ocasião da Estrutura Social

Freitas, Renan Springer de

Resumen

Specifically, this proposal implies (1) an affirmation of the unique and localized (as opposed to generic and transcendent) character of structural constraints on human conduct and (2) the postulation of an antifoundationalist sociology of knowledge, so called because it denies the possibility of any "ultimate" foundation for the validation of knowledge.
