Explicar y comprender, una necesaria dialéctica para provocar conocimiento profundo en una ciencia social
Abstract
Achieving profound knowledge is an arduous task that, in many cases, involves adopting scientific methods of analysis to understand and grasp science, methods that are then embraced by those seeking to acquire this knowledge. This article attempts to illustrate how explanation and understanding, as key moments in the scientific knowledge of a social science, must be in constant dialectical motion. This allows the implications of its analysis to position us as valid interpreters, who, after this process, occupy their own space, establishing themselves as authorized hermeneuticists of social science.
