La Geometría como herramienta para las Ciencias Sociales y su relación con el número y la palabra

Abstract

This paper presents an even critic to the present debate of methodological paradigms. We propose to use Geometry as a tool which can be attractive to quantitativists due to its mathematical background as well as to qualitativists due to the graphic representations. We intend to demonstrate the way geometric approximations allow us to perceive the paradigmatic debates with a common and comparable foundation; moreover, as an extension, they allow us to close the gap among methodological paradigms.
