On epostemological fundamentalism: Thoughts from a Wittgenstenian perspective

Abstract

This paper is a reflection on epistemological foundationalism. We will posit the necessity to find the “foundations” on which a new conception of science allows us to understand the world's facts. From a Wittgensteinian perspective, we will resort to the notion of seeing aspects, as it provides us with some balance when showing the possibility of interpreting the world's facts sometimes this way, sometimes that way. Finally, we will explore the conception of science as just one way –among many­ others– of seeing the world.
