A história da ciência e o objeto de seu estudo: confrontos entre a ciência periférica, a ciência central e a ciência marginal

Abstract

MARGINAL SCIENCE.The historiography of science has undergone a profound change from the traditional perspective of a few decades ago, according to which only mainstream science was worth pursuing as a research field.Such a restricted outlook was not conducive to a thorough understanding of the whole process of the construction of science.New approaches have breathed new life into the discipline, taking into account not only scientific endeavours from so-called peripheral societies, but also from different quarters within or close to the central groups.From this a new and far more interesting view has emerged, showing a complex and richer texture.
