This study aimed to discuss the process of incorporating Science and its products in the social sphere from the advent of modernity, presenting some of the discourses on their emancipatory function and subsequent critical reactions to these discourses. An analysis of the discourses and routines of researchers of strictu sensu post-graduate programs of the Center for Agricultural Sciences of the Federal University of Viçosa (CCA / UFV) was used as an example. The methodological procedure was conducted as interviews for a representative sample of 68 researchers from the CCA/UFV. Based on the inquiries made, it was found that the knowledge produced by researchers at CCA/UFV is consistent with the logic of modern Science. Besides having highly specialized scientists, the productive sector has an important influence on the practices and routines of the researchers.
