Latin America

Chavez and Uribe, Presidents of Venezuela and Colombia met to start a new phase of relationship between both republics. Trade agreements, creation of a Fund of 200 million dollars to deal with consequences of the crisis and, above all, build new trust between the two countries are the results of the meeting. It has also recently reached agreements with Venezuela Brazil, but it is not new, because since 2007, Lula and Chavez meet quarterly to advance cooperation between the two countries. This time they have signed collaboration agreements scientific, agricultural and energy with the Brazilian commitment to transfer technology to Venezuela. Cristina Fernandez, President of Argentina, has also signed agreements with Venezuela and ratified the common position of these Governments in the process of integration of the economies of both countries. Fernandez and Chavez have signed agreements in economic areas, health, labour, energy, agriculture, power, transport and sport, thus as technology transfer.

Cristina Fernandez has thanked Venezuela Argentine financial aid when the country lacked access to capital markets. It has occurred shortly before Cristina Fernandez to meet in Havana with President Raul Castro, also to sign agreements of cooperation between Argentina and Cuba in science, technology, trade, health and energy. The visit to Cuba of Cristina Fernandez was preceded by the President of Panama, Martin Torrijos, and also by the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. In coming weeks or months the Presidents of Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, visit Cuba over the President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet. Several observers interpreted visits to Cuba with their collaboration agreements as a clear message to the elected President of United States, Obama: Cuba Latin America is and is not acceptable to forget her, nor worth embargoes. In April 2008 he won the Presidency of Paraguay Fernando Lugo, candidate of the Patriotic Alliance for the Change; a few days ago in El Salvador the leftist won Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional in the municipal elections and of deputies to the Legislative Assembly.

Epistemology The Science And The Technical A. Treves Of History

Epistemology is defined as a philosophical discipline that considers the validity and scope of scientific knowledge, all the problems of putting into question of science. It is a philosophical discipline, because it does not support rules through the application of which you can leave without effect definitely issues discussed. Therefore it is not a science. Scientific epistemological culture is a fundamental attribute. It is a complex discipline. It is the branch of philosophy that studies scientific research and its product, scientific knowledge.

Classic period of epistemology: was cultivated primarily by scientists and mathematicians in leisure hours and philosophers without great scientific preparation. Boltzmann and Mach reached to play a Chair in epistemology. Within the professionalization of epistemology we find the Vienna Circle, the circle was composed by: mathematicians, logicians, philosophers, historians, natural scientists and social scientists. The circle activity lasted less than a decade. They met every week members of different countries (Germany, France, Czechoslovakia, and Switzerland). Epistemology that made members of the Vienna Circle had fatal flaw: era that was tied to the empiricist tradition inductivista Bacon, Hume, Comte, Mach and Berkeley; tradition that was inconsistent with the inherent to the scientific approach realistic epistemology. Most of the members of the circle emigrated, losing contact with the scientists and mathematicians with whom he exchanged ideas. The philosophy of science that cultivated was increasingly more artificial.

Developed a disinterest by mathematics and science and his obsession for linguistic games; making him lose to the Vienna Circle their initial objectives; leaving talk of science to speak the language of science. He left interest in the authentic problems to deal with the use of the expressions. Epistemology deals with the history of science, the philosophy of Science (methods, ways in which scientists, who observe, operate what is plausible or not, etc.). He is responsible for investigating in the ideology of science.
