Kuhinian epistemology and the scientific transformations of homosexuality

Abstract

This article seeks to highlight the Kuhnian epistemology and the analysis uses the example of homosexuality. This is a theoretical work, of a qualitative nature that aims to contribute to educational practices in science in order to enable a better understanding of Kuhnian epistemology, sexuality and the science-society relationship. In providing such analysis, we consider to have spelled out a useful and concrete model of the Kuhnian proposition, which can be used in science education especially because it potentially contributes to the reduction of social discrimination and with more democratic notions of society.
