Abstract

From the changes generated by the process of quest of knowledge, mankind has created a disjuncture between the natural and social sciences and philosophy. However, in this article we examine the feasibility of mixing the philosophical virtue and the scientific objectivity from a dialogic relationship to establish an indestructible dialogue between the subjective reflection and the objective knowledge, between "the brain of the natural and social sciences and the spirit of metaphysics " (Morin, 1986, p.67) under which generates a fusion of horizons that dignifies man from the unfailing recognition of otherness in both disciplines to assume the role of equal subjects, not identical.What is presented here is a reflection on the need to give the epistemological constructions of the human sciences and management a scientific character by virtue of its ability to adapt to the object of study, its method and circumstances involved.
