Abstract

DRAWIN, Carlos Roberto; MOREIRA, Jacqueline de Oliveira  and  RODRIGUES, Bianca Ferreira. Covid-19 and post-normal science: epistemological and political reflections. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.51, pp.522-536. ISSN 2175-1390.

With the unusual Covid-19 pandemic, we are facing an intense intersection between strictly scientific, social and political aspects. In this sense, this theoretical essay aims to reflect on the limits of the concept of normal science, to present the idea of post-normal science and, thus, to defend the intrinsic articulation between science, politics and the community as a possibility of positioning in the face of the challenges of Covid-19. In the first part of the text we focus on the controversial ideal of science and its continuity with technique and in the second part we make some references to its political implications based on the assumption that the ideas of post-normal science and transdisciplinary knowledge contribute to overcome the separation between political decision and participation and rational and scientific argumentation.

Keywords : Covid-19; Post-normal science; Science; Transdisciplinary; Politics.
