Abstract: In its summary form, Thomas S. Kuhn's book *The Structure of Scientific Revolutions* serves as the backdrop for this article. Emphasizing the conceptual basis, blending Kuhn's thoughts, including splices of various paragraphs, with other assimilations, including personal expressions by the author of this article, it is noted that most of the quotations are in fact summaries (sometimes deviating from ABNT standards for better textual harmony and authorial originality), and are not literal to what Kuhn expounds in his book. Furthermore, incorporating concepts from Michel Foucault's *The Archaeology of Knowledge*, as well as grafts from Herman Kahn and Anthony J. Wiener's *The Year 2000*, a hypothesis of the author's personal theory is developed. Despite a conjecture of the contemporary proposal, in which the scientific mindset is generally fueled by a disdain for indubitable truth, and more often than not, a mystical atmosphere is created in academia and the scientific community, such that much knowledge obeys epistemic structures whose shape and form change as paradigms are lost and new cultural and scientific contexts are defined in all spheres of knowledge. Therefore, a question is developed here, much more for a new approach, perceptible only to those with a mind trained in intellectual versatility and dynamism. Finally, it is concluded that analytically, as well as for the result of this article, the aim is merely an introduction to a work that still needs to be better grounded and substantiated with broader, lucid, and comprehensible arguments. Therefore, in this work, the author develops an objective rudimentary approach to the first steps toward a possible final thesis for his Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. However, much can already be immediately understood and perceived regarding the future direction, such as the challenge for greater intellectual dialogue, for change, and toward a better quality of life, guided by principles such as an awareness of responsibility and the role of the constructivist importance of conditions for greater social well-being. Emphasizing a call for the structuring of means and methods for greater consistency in scientific progress, in order to preserve cultural and historical integrity amidst collapses and cataclysms, both in environmental, psychological, and intellectual spheres.
