Abstract

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of philosophy in scientific research, starting from a globalized world where human beings are challenged in all the roles they play. To raise awareness among present and future scientists, it is necessary to recognize the historical, philosophical, and conceptual framework of the theories they follow, as well as the new ones that are created. Furthermore, for there to be progress in science based on dialogue, it is essential to recognize the logic from which the theories come to avoid unnecessary friction and to expand what is known about the objects of research, having as a premise that the truth is not found in the specializations of science but in the different forms generated by the consciousness of a single object to be investigated.
