Resumo: This essay explores how Latin America offers a privileged locus for the social scientist to cope with the epistemological challenge of adjusting theory and empiria. The argument is that although this is a challenge common to all social scientists, it becomes more explicit as such for the social scientist in the region, as he/she exercises a profession from which the theoretical and conceptual formulations were developed in a tradition from another time and place. In adjusting theories, concepts and the Latin American contemporary reality, he or she expands, in an original way, the universality of the Social Sciences disciplinary matrix.

El argumento es que, aunque se trate de un desafío común a todos los científicos sociales, este se torna más explícito como tal para el científico social en la región, ya que este último ejerce un oficio cujas formulaciones teóricas y conceptuales fueron desarrolladas en una tradición de otro tiempo y de otro lugar.

O argumento é que, embora se trate de um desafio comum a todos os cientistas sociais, ele se torna mais explícito enquanto tal para o cientista social latino-americano, pois este exerce um ofício cujas formulações teóricas e conceituais foram desenvolvidas em uma tradição de outro tempo e de outro lugar.
