VAN WOUDENBERG, René. Presuppositions of (human movement) science. Pensar en Movimiento [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.15-30. ISSN 1659-4436.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/pensarmov.v15i1.27846.

This paper argues that science, human movement science included, proceeds from many presuppositions. First, it explains what sorts of things presuppositions are. Next, it argues that science proceeds from metaphysical, epistemic, and normative presuppositions. The argument entails that neither scientism nor Naturalism is a presupposition of science.

Keywords : Philosophy; philosophy of science; epistemology; metaphysics; naturalism; scientism; philosophical analysis.
