Today, the epistemological principles of science face a moment of transition, where features of a dominant paradigm crystallized in the conception of modern science and other emerging influenced by postmodern ideas (De Sousa, 2009) are identified. In that sense, modern science is built amid questions that both views are held together.
In this brief essay both paradigms are characterized and then how is exemplified in how they are presented in the social sciences, from the identification of certain epistemological features in the study of social science problems such as poverty. Thus, it is expected to contribute to discussions on epistemology in these fields of scientific knowledge in these times of transition.
