Abstract
Philosophy of the social sciences has traditionally occupied a secondary role within the philosophy of science. However, this situation has changed in recent decades. Given the above, in this article I show the development of a philosophy of social sciences motivated by both the philosophy of science and the social sciences. Three are the main ideas developed in this paper: 1) there is a connection between the philosophy of the social sciences and the philosophy of science; 2) this connection is explained from the recent transformations in the philosophy of science and 3) this connection offers new approaches to understanding the social reality and the practice of the social sciences. La filosofía de las ciencias sociales tradicionalmente ha ocupado un rol secundario dentro de la filosofía de las ciencias. Sin embargo, esta situación ha cambiado en las últimas décadas. Dado lo anterior, en este artículo muestro el desarrollo de una filosofía de las ciencias sociales motivada tanto por la filosofía de las ciencias como por las ciencias sociales. En lo práctico, tres son las ideas desarrolladas: 1) existe una conexión entre filosofía de las ciencias sociales y filosofía de las ciencias; 2) dicha conexión se explica a partir de las transformaciones recientes en filosofía de las ciencias, y 3) esta conexión ofrece nuevos enfoques para comprender la realidad social y la práctica de las ciencias sociales.Keywords
