História das ideias, história das ciências humanas e sociologia do conhecimento

Abstract

This article seeks to determine the mutual influence between the sociology of knowledge and the history of ideas within the history of the social sciences. In addition, it intends to outline a preliminary research program for the area in question which integrates relevant contributions from the social sciences and history to contribute to the dialog between parallel research programs for connected development in the history of science and the history of the social sciences, as well as to pursue a sociology of knowledge which is attentive to the political and economic framework of epistemic practices on which it focuses, without reducing these practices to extrinsic discourses or to the subjective intentions of the causal agents.
