Resumo
O trabalho apresenta uma investigação teórico-conceitual que analisa, à luz da noção de paradigma científico na filosofia da ciência, especialmente os estudos epistemológicos pós-popperianos de Thomas Kuhn (1994) e Inre Lakatos (1979), as características do chamado quarto paradigma da ciência (e-Science). O paradigma da e-Science é apresentado por Gray e outros (2009) como um novo padrão intelectual de produção de conhecimento científico baseado no trabalho intensivo com dados tem conseguido consolidar uma ampla comunidade de prática de pesquisa ao redor do mundo. O trabalho evidencia o excesso de pesquisas de estudo de caso, em contraposição a escassos trabalhos teórico-conceituais que explicitem e discutam os fundamentos teóricos e epistemológicos da e-Science.
Palavras-chave: e-Science. Big data. Epistemologia.
Abstract
The paper presents a theoretical-conceptual research that analyzes, in light of the notion of scientific paradigm in the philosophy of science, especially the post-Popperian epistemological studies of Thomas Kuhn (1994) and Inre Lakatos (1979), the characteristics of the so-called fourth paradigm of science (e-Science). The paradigm of e-Science is presented by Gray et al. (2009) as a new intellectual standard of scientific knowledge production based on data intensive work has managed to consolidate a wide community of research practice around the world. The work evidences the excess of case study research, as opposed to scarce theoretical-conceptual works that explain and discuss the theoretical and epistemological foundations of e-Science.
Keywords: e-Science. Big data. Epistemology.
