| Abstract: |
The problem of relativism and realism may appear in hermeneutic and mundane phenomenological projects. In this paper theories of Kuhn, Wittgenstein, Winch, and Bloor are discussed. Kuhn’s theory may be interpreted in at least two ways, one generating the problem of relativism and realism, the second avoiding the problem. Wittgenstein’s treatment of reciprocal understanding across cultural borders does avoid the problem of relativism. Winch, on the other hand, represents a kind of «surfacehermeneutics » that excludes the concepts of truth and validity. Bloor’s position differs from that of Winch. His strong sociology of knowledge-program does, however, imply self-referential inconsistency and excludes the concepts of truth and validity since it insists that scientific knowledge is to be explained solely on the basis of social causes. Sannings-pretensjon er eit essensielt vilkår for alt vitskapleg arbeid. Difor spelar realisme- og relativisme-problemet ei viktig rolle, ikkje berre i forhold til postmodernistisk eller dekonstruktivistisk vitskapsfilosofi, men likeeins i forhold til hermeneutiske eller mundan-fenomenologiske prosjekt, i tillegg til kunnskaps-sosiologi (seinare k-sosiologi). I denne artikkelen skal eg drøfte problemet på basis av Kuhn, Wittgenstein, Winch og Bloor og vise at og kvifor i alle fall Winch og Bloor sine respektive prosjekt ikkje lar seg innløyse. |
