Ethnoscience of science: the search for symmetry in scientific research

Abstract

Science aims to study all phenomena of our planet, helping us to understand the reality. From an institutional point of view, science is a collective organization consisting of research objects and researchers who exhibit belief (kosmos), knowledge (corpus) and practice (praxis) systems strongly influenced by the knowledge produced within the scientific community. This juncture is poorly understood, despite having a strong influence on the worldview transmitted by science for the whole society. In this context, this article defends the need to develop an ‘Ethnoscience of Science’, which could ensure the possibility for the scientific community to be studied scientifically
