dc.description A proposta do artigo é levantar a denúncia de que o conhecimento e a ciência estão sob ameaça, notadamente as ciências humanas e sociais, e formular a crítica de que o atual contexto de ceticismo epistemológico e de relativismo ontológico compromete a capacidade de as ciências superarem suas próprias antinomias, tanto no plano explanatório como no do enfrentamento prático de seus problemas. O artigo retoma a frase "a teoria tem consequências" e argumenta que a teoria pode acentuar o ceticismo generalizado sobre o conhecimento, a verdade e a justiça, tornando-os sem sentido e introduzindo uma boa dose de irracionalismo e niilismo. Em seu lado positivo, a teoria pode oferecer as bases racionais e críticas para desnudar a lógica do discurso que, ao mesmo tempo em que afirma a centralidade da educação, elabora a pragmática construção de epistemologias da prática condizentes com os paradigmas que referenciam pesquisas, reformas, planos e propostas para a educação brasileira e latino-americana. A base teórica do texto é o realismo crítico de Lukács e Bhaskar.<br>This paper explores the denunciation that knowledge and science, more particularly human and social sciences, are at risk. It criticizes the context of epistemological scepticism and ontological relativism that strongly affects sciences´ capacity to overcome their own antinomies either on an explanatory level or when practically confronted to their own problems. It recalls the sentence "theory does have consequences" and argues that theory can increase the generalized scepticism about knowledge, truth, and justice by making them sound meaningless, thus opening the door to a great measure of irrationalism and nihilism. Yet, the positive side of theory may offer rational and critical bases to unveil the logic of a discourse that, at the same time, affirms education centrality and proposes the pragmatic construction of practice epistemologies in keeping with the emergent paradigms that are references for research, reforms, plans and proposals for Brazilian and Latin-American education. Theoretically, this text is based on Lukács and Bhaskar's critical realism.
