This article proposes an alternative to the discussion between the objectivist and constructionist vision onscience. In order to reach such objective, we start from a schematic presentation about what it is calledScience Wars; then, we are going to talk in detail about Knor-Cetina's proposal, showing how it leads toantiscientific attitudes. Later, we will confront the constructionist thesis taken from Knor-Cetina with therealistic ones, proposed by Giere, Kitcher and Hacking, in order to moderate the antiscientific positions,cleansing the traditional polarities. Finally, the Critical Common-Sensism proposed by Susan Haack will beoutlined and stated as an option to the confrontation between objectivists and constructionists and also, asa moderate way to understand science in the present-day.
