In generic Epistemology
Classical epistemology is theory-centered, it turned itself near the past, example
extract from past of mechanics, physics or chemistry. In the era of models, the
epistemology collapse and was replaced by sciences studies, sociological studies
on sciences.
Generic epistemology is turned on the contemporary sciences, with devices to
see new phenomena and methods in sciences. It began with an extension, an
epistemology of models is one where models are no more understand as
mediators between theory and experience. All the ingredients of the science had
to be liberate of the tensions between theory vs facts. It is so an open
epistemology, science is an indirect object, because sample of science is not a
rule to explain science. As in non-philosophy, it is a change of level.
It is possible to see models as fictional devices. It was the first step to introduce
fiction in epistemology. But it is lacking the interdisciplinary regime current in
sciences. So we invent some conceptual instruments to open a generic space:
Integrative objects, no given, partially known, without phenomenological
distance, without synthesis, and collective intimacy in sciences, a new mode of
exchange between researcher. In this space, there are some operators who
permit to combine fragments of scientific and philosophical knowledge, on of
these operators a fiction, who open possibilities of articulations of scientific and
philosophical (and) fragments. Fiction combines concepts rendered generic with
fragments of knowledge. Its structure is so C x K under K, more generally
