 Two philosophers of science, who are well-known in the Latin American communities, were also very interested in issues connected with social and political values in science, although from different perspectives. Since the 1990s, León Olivé (1988 [1993]) stood at the interface between the philosophy and the sociology of knowledge, trying to explain the double nature of knowledge as a social construct and a representation of reality. More recently, his interest focused on how technology has pervaded contemporary society, modeling both knowledge and values (Olivé 2007).  Ricardo Gómez, by contrast, develops his position in open confrontation with neoliberalism (2002, 2017a). On this basis, he considers that the ethical dimension of science and technology should stand against neoliberal principles from a clear political position (Gómez 2017b).
