Abstract
The central objective of this text is to identify the constitutive elements of methodological knowledge and the changes that have occurred in this field during postmodern times. The author highlights social pluralism, the coexistence ofparadigms and the critique ofprogressive linearity as three traits that point to methodology as a social construct. The article concludes with the description of nevo rules for methodological knowledge based upon paradigmatic and technical non-neutrality.
Keywords:
