Abstract

Relationalism is at the opposite point of substantialism, and instead of studying objects separated from each other, it starts to study the objective relations that determine them. The Marburg school is one of the most important exponents of this idea. The explanation provided by the Marburg school of relationalism was to solve the crisis of science in the 20th century. In other words, this school sought to provide an answer to the paradox of the progress of science at the same time as revolutionary changes occurred in it without losing scientific objectivity. The idea of the Marburg school was that if these changes could be explained based on an objective method or law, the credibility of science would be preserved. This objective method is the transcendental method that was reformulated inspired by Kant's transcendental logic. In this approach, the relationship between concept and reality has been revised, the reality is completely conceptual and at the same time dynamic, and it is explained how the object of scientific theories is continuously reproduced as a cultural component.
