Si la realidad es engañosa, ¿cómo hacer -entonces- con la ciencia? Alusión angustiada a K. Kosík. / If reality is misleading, then how to do with science? Anguished allusion to K. Kosík.
Yes. There are not many scientists who understand that the biggest problem that the investigative and exhibition work inherent to the respective profession entails, is that reality (as support of all the rest of the objects consubstantiated with such work - such as thought , language and others-) possesses in its entrails, however paradoxical the matter may be!, a gigantic vocation of deception, falsehood, self-concealment. Reality is sometimes presented not as it is, but as it is not; inclusive, as its opposite ... Yes; as his opposite disguising himself, like this, as if showing his true essence. This is the case not only with social reality (in whose fabric the power of one group or individual over another group or individual lives), but also with the supposedly naive natural reality.
It must be said (even roughly) that to a lesser extent philosophers of science (epistemologists, gnoseologists ...) fall into the habit of believing that the crystal glass "sweats" when receiving very cold water on its body. It should be noted, however, that there are indeed scientists with such gargoyles, as there are also - although to a lesser extent - philosophers of science who use such linear views.
Although Karel Kosík (1926-2003) was from his country (Czechoslovakia) and throughout his activity as a philosopher, an ardent cultivator of Marxism and also an ardent opponent of what the USSR meant in theory and practice (biting then the pains of prisons, raids on his home, dismissal from his university positions, etc.), since his approach to the deceptive mood that reality usually embodies, frequently generates in the scientific and philosophical-scientific circles of the West and beyond. West, a gesture of turning the face and whistling. Between that gesture of turning his face and whistling at the heartbreaking and revolutionary approach of Kosík, expressions and accusations such as "tongue twister", "gibberish", emerge frequently and unfortunate. It seems that they wildly want to charge Karel Kosík for the fact that his country belonged to the Soviet political orbit, failing to see that he exercised in a sustained (and personal) way, a dialectical critique on the matter, prevailing the philosophical, the academic . This situation reminds us of the words of the Venezuelan ideologist Teodoro Petkoff (1932-2018) when he referred to the traditional culture of the left ... "It is that these people do not forget, nor rectify, nor forgive." Of course ... we would add now that not only the classical and radical left incurs, but the classical and radical right.
Kosík prevails in his acute approach the historically and epistemologically consecrated categories concretion, concrete. As we know, such categories account for the objectively specific, singular, of the object under study. It is good to remember what the teacher from Trier said with acuity in the middle of the 19th century ... The concrete is the concrete since it is the synthesis of determinations. And Kosík picks it up.
Well. The Czech author explains in his wonderful book "Dialectic of the Concrete", that reality often not only hides its condition of concrete, but also shows itself as the negation of its corresponding concrete. Reality can carry with it a pseudo-concretion. Reality is, he said, a zigzag between truth and deception and is capable of confusing even the most conspicuous scientific researcher. The truth appears and hides, thus tracing a permanent dialectical contradiction. Dialectical contradiction that the scientific researcher is obliged, at the point of also dialectical mentality, to transcend successfully.
One might wonder then ... How to find those invisible determinations that mark the concrete and that apparently do not make life in the object itself but outside of it? How to study the clues of these determinations for the purpose of disactivating the vocation that the concrete carries to hide them? Ah ... the big question ... Is the customary test method (the today called "hypothetical-deductive" or simply -and in the singular- "scientific method") appropriate to take the pulse of the global determinations that coin the object, thus being able to deactivate all pseudo-concretion?
