inglés term

to push the envelope of knowledge

inglés al español Arte/Literatura Poesía y literatura PHILOSOPHY
There are two primary questions that epistemology addresses: first, what is the nature of knowledge? And, second, what is its scope? The answer to these questions has tremendous social implications. Do scientists PUSH THE ENVELOPE OF KNOWLEDGE, or are they fabricating it as they go? We rely on knowledge to weave the tapestry of our daily lives, but how dependable is what we take to be knowledge?

agree Elena Sgarbo (X) : Ampliar (i). According to W. Saffire, we owe the expression "to push the envelope" to George Bush (f) -- it's a rather new phrase :)

agree Intergraf : Test pilots used "pushing the edge of the envelope" ('50s-'60s), soon shortened. Tom Wolfe’s book/film popularized it; first recorded use as "going/attempting to go beyond the limits of what is known to be possible" late '80s [from World Wide Words].
