Resumen
PUENTES CALA, Mauricio. The substantive of Social “Science”: chronicle of a fetish, history of a complex. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.2, pp.1-24. ISSN 1851-9490.
The essay critically analyzes the noun that is the nominative attribute of the social "sciences". The purpose is not to enter into a semantic reflection, but to recognize the historical meaning of the term science and its relation to the facets of social knowledge. Relationship, marked by an inferiority complex and a disciplinary fetish, result of the implantation of the scientific model in the human sphere. All within the framework of the expansion of illustrated thought as an intellectual trend and the consolidation of positivism as the epistemic horizon of humanity. It is argued that the hierarchy of scientific disciplines according to their ability to stick to the methodological instruments of the natural sciences, reinforced the epistemic complex of social knowledge and created a fetish based on the mimesis of knowledge located at the top of knowledge.
