Abstract

This article was scanned by the Aurelio Espinosa Polit Ecuadorian Library.
The Social Sciences in our countries are relatively young in their present face, and especially in our Andean countries they are not only very young, but they are only recent. In Latin America the effective development of the Social Sciences has only taken place in the course of the last decade and this has introduced a set of problems in the development of these disciplines. In the first place, the fact that their effective initiation as effective disciplines in our universities is simultaneous with two processes. Firstly, the beginning of the decline of the prestige of the currents that today we call developmentalist in Latin American social thought, and secondly, the moment of entry of the radical critique of the orientation that today, in all justice, I believe we can call the imperialist orientation of the Social Sciences.
