Authors

  • José Luis Moreno Pestaña Universidad de Jaén

Abstract

This article reviews Passeron’s epistemological proposals in his book Le Raisonnement sociologique. The central issue is the relation between the ways of argumentation in sociology and those in experimental sciences and realistic literature. Passeron’s view is also confronted with Otto Neurath’s and Pierre Bourdieu’s proposals.
