RESUMO:

This dissertation aims to understand the relationship between scientific errors and the pluralism of Paul Feyerabend. In order to meet this goal in Chapter I, we analyze Gaston Bachelard's epistemology of errors. This initial choice is due to the fact that his theory functions as a driving force for the discussion of the problem of error-siding in the philosophy of science. The author argues with the earlier philosophical conceptions of the secondization of errors, notably the uniformist ideal, and at the same time leads his discussion in an attempt to find a place for errors in the construction of scientific knowledge. However in this analysis we find in Bachelard's perspective the same difficulty of including errors in epistemology, namely a transitional view of errors in scientific inquiry. That is, errors when admitted are presented with a temporal aspect, in only one stage of knowledge construction, and naturally overcome. Thus, the search for divergent and plural bases for the understanding of scientific errors became necessary. In this sense, in chapter II we seek to understand pluralist epistemology as a perspective that understands errors within science as part of the inevitable process for scientific development. And as a basis for understanding Feyerabendian pluralism, as well as understanding the choice of its epistemology in this work. Thus we understand the main concepts, arguments and positions of the pluralists. Within this perspective, Feyerabend's pluralism stands out in relation to its understanding of scientific errors. In this sense, in chapter III we seek to understand the foundations that constitute the Feyerabendian pluralism and the place of the error in this perspective. Thus we find that Feyerabend's pluralism has a perspective that includes errors in scientific inquiry as an inevitable precondition for the progress of science, and a revaluation of errors in epistemology and in the perspective of increasing criticality in science education.
