Abstract

The aim of this writting statement is to show that the polarization between the explanatory structures then the social sciences and natural sciences, It is unlikely unrewarding and unnecessary. To do this at first, the arguments Carl Hempel presented to justify the idea of following a single statement of explanation in the empirical sciences. In a second stage the arguments exposed by Ernest Nagel are announced to strengthen Hempel proposal. In a third stage Alfred Shultz exposed replicas are analyzed to such authors, appealing to an intersubjective perspective of science.
