TY - GEN N1 - ill.; 24 cm N2 - This article presents fourteen propositions summarising the hypotheses advanced in Alain Testart’s book Pour les sciences sociales: essai d’épistémologie. This text crucially challenges the bases of social sciences in general. It mainly analyses, from a unified perspective, the position of the observer, by highlighting that a poor understanding of this issue has contributed to social sciences’ struggle to acquire a scientific status. In this article these positions will be compared to those developed by Jean-Claude Passeron in his book Le raisonnement sociologique: l’espace non poppérien du raisonnement naturel, which at first glance are irreducible. Nonetheless these two approaches seem to be complementary. Passeron focuses his proposal on historicity but he is forced to treat secondarily the nomological aspect. His proposal sets out the non-Popperian character of historical approach. Testart centres his proposal on the nomological aspect but he is forced to consider secondarily the aspect of historicity. This opposition can be incorporated into our epistemological approach inspired by natural sciences L1 - http://rcin.org.pl/Content/85629/PDF/WA308_91601_P320_Alain-Testart-and_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Alain Testart et la réflexion épistémologique J2 - Alain Testart a refleksja epistemologiczna J2 - Archeologia Polski T. 63 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 28 KW - Testart KW - Passeron KW - epistemology KW - nomological aspect KW - constructivism KW - physics A1 - Gallay, Alain A2 - Mazurié de Keroualian, Karoline.
