Abstract

Independently of giving an affirmative or negative answer to the question, it is intended to show that at least the scientific activity can be ideological. For that purpose it is necessary to exploit the concept of ideology and try to define it more precisely, which will be undertaken from an essay of Geroges Canguilhem about scientific ideologies. It is interesting and adequate to think of this problem in full, not restricted just to social sciences, especially considering the purported objectivity of natural sciences.
