The Investigation as an Antecedent in Sociology and other A Priori N2 - What came before our disciplines? What are our a priori? These questions, which come to us from the theory of knowledge, have been the subject of numerous works. This book brings together contributions from authors from France, Brazil, Israel and the United States, specialized in different disciplines, including law, philosophy, economics, management, anthropology and sociology. It has the entirely original ambition to place social sciences at the heart of these fundamental questions in an effort to establish a dialogue between our various branches of knowledge, both within and beyond the academic community, about the different postulates, presuppositions, prejudices, paradigms, beliefs, commonplaces, biases, and emotions that forge our theoretical and practical constructs.
