Abstract

The article's main idea is to raise some questions related to research in the human sciences. The purpose is to show that both human sciences and their philosophy are terrains under construction, i.e., they require epistemic, ontological, and methodological efforts to reach a rigorous status of scientificity. To achieve this, we start with an introduction in which we state the intuition guiding the paper, namely, research in human sciences as a work in progress. Subsequently, some of the difficulties for the formulation of research in the human sciences will be shown, and an argument will be made in favour of a relationship between the general philosophy of science and issues proper to the human sciences in their epistemological, ontological, and methodological dimensions. Finally, it will be presented, with merely indicative pretensions, a debate relevant to the philosophy of human sciences, not unrelated to classical discussions of the general philosophy of science. A conclusion to be drawn from this presentation is that the construction of research in human sciences can be done within the framework of a general philosophy of science.
