MALDONADO, Carlos Eduardo. Three reasons for social sciences metamorphosis in the 21st century. Cinta moebio [online]. 2019, n.64, pp.114-122. ISSN 0717-554X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/s0717-554x2019000100114.

This paper explains the process of complexification of the social sciences during the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, while it provides three reasons why this has happened. The paper claims that the human and social sciences must undergo a radical metamorphosis if they want to keep alive at all. Even though, nothing obliges that these sciences must go on existing. At the end, as an open-ended conclusion, it is pointed out how, because of the changes that express a deep crisis, how a brand-new science of the impossible has emerged.

Palabras clave : social science; science history; epistemology; complexity; impossibility.
