Living reality and theorize in Social Sciences

Abstract

According to Sergio Bagú the ability of theoretical creation in social sciences is closely related to the social background and the world of ideas. Therefore, it is essential that the speculative tendency curve is reconstructed periodically. Bagú follows these premisis which enable him to make a survey of the principal speculative paths developed in Latin America since 1945, and examine the way in wich certain issues, such as the fall of the socialist concept and the technological advances reached by humanity, have influenced in the worldwide theoretical construction.
