Authors

Keywords:

Abstract

The purpose of this scientific article is to understand hermeneutics in scientific work as a substantive action of human beings in their quest to recreate the episteme of the social sciences for the common good. In the light of hermeneutics, I contrast different philosophical postures to draw paths of reflection that weave together the emergent, the hidden, and the manifest to build knowledge that enriches science, technology, and the culture of peoples and nations. In short, I understand how the epistemic subject develops a task to build tomorrow and preserve a social historical legacy around being about being-there. Action that allows him to intervene in the ways of doing science from interpretative processes to recreate new ontological, epistemological, and methodological aspects.
