The philosophy of science and, particularly, the social studies of science and technology include several disciplines and fields of research, such as studies on public perception of science. In recent years, the study of scientific culture has become a field of great interest and relevance to the philosophy of science. This is especially visible in the Ibero- American region: its late arrival to this field has provided a revisionist research of many of the problems surrounding scientific culture and its measurement. The aim of this paper is to show how the philosophy of science can contribute to studies of public perception of science, particularly to the discussion on scientific culture.
