Resumo: There is a widely extended image of computer software as some sort of ‘black box,’ where it does not matter how it internally works, but rather what sort of results are obtained given certain input values. By approaching computer software this way, many philosophical issues are hidden, neglected, or simply misunderstood. This article discusses three units of analysis of computer software, namely, specifications, algorithms, and computer processes. The aim is to understand the scientific and engineering practices supporting each unit of analysis, as well as to analyze their methodology, ontology, and epistemology.

Al hacer esto, muchos problemas filosóficos son ocultados, negados, o simplemente mal entendidos. Este artículo discute tres unidades de an ́alisis del software de computador, esto es, las especificaciones, los algoritmos, y los procesos computacionales. El objetivo central es entender las prácticas detrás de cada unidad de software así como analizar su metodología, ontología, y epistemología.Federal University of Santa Catarina – UFSC2018-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/principia/article/view/1808-1711.2018v22n2p20310.5007/1808-1711.2018v22n2p203Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2018); 203-227Principia: an international journal of epistemology; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2018); 203-227Principia: an international journal of epistemology; v. 22 n. 2 (2018); 203-2271808-17111414-4247reponame:Principia (Florianópolis.
