Abstract

EMA LOPEZ, José Enrique. A materialist look about epistemological debates in social psychology. Diversitas [online]. 2009, vol.5, n.2, pp.225-239. ISSN 1794-9998.

In this paper we develop a material point of view in terms of epistemological debates introduced in psychology and in social psychology by social constructionism (it's impossible today think about epistemology without going through their contributions). First, we show the most relevant critical questions done by this prospect. After we show our proposal on some points of tension with the social constructionism. Finally we emphasize the ethical and political implications of our materialistic point of view.

Keywords : epistemology; Social Constructionism; materialism.
