It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this “ontological and epistemological assumption”, which is at the heart of positively focused, aggressively reductionist (to the “logical- experimental” and materialistic) Eurocentric science (“method dictatorship” - only what is appropriate is real) Full name). However, it is also difficult to overstate the importance of this modernist view of science, one of the most striking responsible for Western technological success, a success that makes challenging the positivism of the enterprise challenging. Let us take into account that digital technology reissues, with unprecedented forcefulness, the linear, sequential, formal ethos of modernist science, in a context of superlative efficiency: computer is a formidable machine (“superintelligent”), to the point of being able, according to many, to supplant in intelligence the human intelligence.
