LOPEZ ALONSO, Alfredo O.. Science rationality and inference: An insight from cognitive psychology. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.129-142. ISSN 1668-7027.
The purpose is to analyze inferential processes leading science to constitute as an assertive rational system from its irrational counterparts. Rationality is critical for science, however, it reflects a psychological need of thought's organization to achieve balances between conflicting stable categories of understanding and changing flows of inferences attending scientific problems. Dynamics between implicit, and explicit inferences is assumed in the way to solve rational, and irrational unbalances between scientific representations, and heuristics. Modality categories are analyzed as inferential substrates to knowledge justification, implicit, and explicit inferences as systemic and complexity processes attending rational needs for order, coherence, logical closure, reversibility, etc.
