Abstract
The sociologists who tend to lay down the epistemological grounds of sociology (especially Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and more recently Pierre Bourdieu), conceive this type of knowledge as a meta-science which cross examines the empirical with theoretical and thus, go beyond the social theories adapted exclusively to particular times and geographies. These theoreticians emphasize historicisation as an important method. Inquiring how can sociology be redefined as a meta-science make necessary the inquiry on what the sociology is. This ‘continental science', who emerged along with the Industrial revolution and the expansion of universities in the 19th century, developed in the context of a constant contact not only with the philosophy and law among which some of its founding figures came from, but also with the other new disciplines as psychology, economy, political science and pedagogy. The sociology bases its scientificity on the objectivation and historicisation of its theories and methods and put this enquiry as a matter subject of science.
