In his opinion the money is gold or silver, and its order is dictated by the order of natural reason which forces men to build their institution respecting this natural norm of things with the attitude of an unbreakable promise. Beyond the fixation that arrange the value of the money to the intrinsic nature of good social order, State intervention in the creation and management of money is instead judged as essentially pernicious. This article studies the function that this peculiar concept of money plays as an early antecedent of the liberal myth of economics as a supposed scientific discipline whose epistemic object would be the market understood analogously, under the influence of the deistic ideas of the 18th century, as a product of the spontaneous and virtuous order of society.

The central points the study will focus upon are what is science; what is its method. To fulfil the objective, we will make explicit each one of the points, and then, in a third stage, contrast the approaches of both authors. In the conclusions the possible political drifts to which the authors' conceptions lead are discussed. Felipe Tello-Navarro Marcelo Valenzuela-Cáceres Copyright (c) 2024 Cinta de Moebio.

For this aim, we argue on the intuition, characterized as a form to access the knowledge that is ordinary, natural, without complex formulations, intuitive, in short. As observed in different manners, it seems to define nowadays stances and perceptions. This occurs, besides, in a form that can be named aesthetic following the very classical conceptualizations, and because aesthetics seems to be one of the signs of our times, as a mechanism that produces intuitive knowledge. From these bases, the essay puts forward some conceptualizations that define and delimitate the validity of the diverse forms of social knowledge.

Substantial criticism of it has come, in recent decades, from feminism and decolonialism. This paper addresses the way in which Chilean critical social research uses the tools of science for the construction of facticity, its validation procedures, and the notion of truth that it applies in its construction process, seeking to see how such a relationship is manifested in the practice and in the appreciation of researchers. It is based on the quantitative analysis of a corpus of 291 critical texts published between 2000 and 2022, and on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a subset of 167 texts, together with interviews with 55 of their authors. Among its results, the following stand out, as characteristics of critical investigative practice: an evasive treatment of the truth; a high appreciation of empirical evidence; a significant change in theoretical tools and epistemological assumptions; the exploration of new participatory methodological tools, but by small groups, with operational limitations and little irradiation; the lack of effective roots of the notion of “catalytic validity” and a tacit, unacknowledged adherence to a Habermasian notion of truth.
