Abstract

The aim of this text is an outline of the porous nature from the bounders between positivist sciences and humanities. As positivist sciences attempt to provide objectivity to the phenomena, humanities seek to understand the sense of subjective experience. Moreover, positivist sciences can only objectivize phenomena in a world where scientists have subjective experience and humanists try to understand the logical sense from the subjective findings from the moment they manage to objectivize them. Finally, the text also tries to show how the knowledge coming from humanities is unavoidable, given that they determine the sense of both individual and collective present experiences.
