El debate epistemológico en torno a la teoría del diseño inteligente: la intervención de Stephen Meyer
Resumen
Recibido: 05/09/2012 ° Aceptado: 28/11/2013La teoría del diseño inteligente tuvo una génesis controvertida, lo que ha marcado decisivamente el discurso de sus autores representativos. En este debate han sido Michael Behe y William Dembski quienes han recibido mayor atención, en tanto que otros autores de la corriente han pasado más bien desapercibidos. Este es el caso de Stephen Meyer, uno de los pocos teóricos del diseño que ha configurado una propuesta epistemológica articulada en relación con la teoría en cuestión. Presentamos aquí los aspectos fundamentales de su propuesta, junto a una valoración crítica de la misma.Citas
