Resumen
En este trabajo se presentan y critican dos modelos de relación entre la Ciencia y la Democracia que aparecen frecuentemente en la bibliografía especializada del campo de la Filosofía de la Ciencia. Se argumenta que, inversamente a lo que se supone, los modelos no promueven valores democráticos. Por el contrario, en ambos casos se privilegia a la Ciencia frente a puntos de vista alternativos igualmente válidos, amenazando la autonomía y la capacidad de autodeterminación de los ciudadanos. Dicho privilegio se sustenta en una asimetría epistémica que analizamos y problematizamos. Finalmente, se proponen condiciones de partida diferentes para pensar filosóficamente en el complejo vínculo entre la Ciencia y las sociedades democráticas.
In this article we present and criticize two models of the relationship between Science and Democracy that frequently appear in the specialized bibliography in the field of Philosophy of Science. We argue that, contrary to what is being assumed, such models do not promote democratic values. Quite the opposite, in both cases Science is being privileged against alternative and equally valid points of view, threatening the autonomy and the right of citizens to self-determination. Such privilege is based on an epistemic asymmetry that we analyse and question. Finally, we propose different initial conditions to reflect, from a philosophical perspective, about the complex relationship between Science and Democracy.
