Sobre las incidencias del método en el carácter crítico de las Ciencias Sociales. Un análisis de la posición de Karl Popper

Abstract

Popper main epistemological thesis called falsifiability is related to critical aspect that must embody Sciences. For the author, both as the Natural Social Sciences share the scientific method, but some argue, against Popper himself, that the methods are different. This review will be the starting point of this paper, as we shall see in what sense the methods are indeed different, in order to analyze whether this difference also influences the critical aspect of science. So first we will study briefly what critique accor-ding to falsifiability both the Social Sciences and the Natural; see their similarities and differences and then analyze whether this form of review is applicable to both science.
