Elementos "exteriores" na ruptura do modelo liberal, nos anos 30

Abstract

The present paper intends to analyze how paradigms can change along the time. It considers that the lakatosian perspective regarding scientific evolution is right, but incomplete (specially in the social sciences). Therefore, it argues that other “exterior” elements such as ideology should be added to this perspective. The starting point of this essay will be the Brazilian paradigm change in the 30’s.
