| Résumé : | If sociology's mission consists in deconstructing the conditions of action of social reality agents through the exposure of blind spots on their behavioural patterns, then it cannot but be a critical science. This stance is not to be mistaken with that of denunciation and does not prevent sociology, as part of its tasks, from telling the truth about this social reality, in keeping with its original scientific vocation. Thus it has to ignore the constraints of contractual research, challenge the blind trust in routine conceptual and methodological tools and in various forms of ideological commitment. The distinction between social and sociological problems remains necessary as it determines the defence of the equally necessary autonomy of the scientific field. |
