The Convergence and the Intersections in Social Sciences

  • Teotonio R. de Souza

Abstract

The “convergent” research has advanced with notable success in the life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, as it can be concluded from the joint report of MIT-AAAS, available for online reference at http://news.mit.edu/2011/convergence-0104 containing encomiastic references to “The Third Revolution: The Convergence of the Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering”.
It is desirable that the realm of the Social Sciences breaks out of its departmental culture which enhances the weaknesses analysed by Thomas S. Kuhn, another north-American and Harvard scholar, in his seminal research published as The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) exposing the subjectivities that blocked the potential for convergence and innovation in Social Sciences.
