Abstract
En los últimos años un importante grupo de científicos sociales ha sentido la necesidad de promover un giro analítico en sociología. Esa necesidad se ha debido al hecho de que algunas corrientes sociológicas muy influyentes se han deslizado por la pendiente del irracionalismo, la imprecisión conceptual, la vaguedad teórica y la esterilidad científica y explicativa. El giro analítico supondría, pues, sentar la sociología de nuevo sobre una base sólida. La sociología española no ha sido ajena ni al deterioro de la sociología como disciplina científica ni al giro analítico. Por tal motivo el presente artículo quiere contribuir al debate actual mediante la disección, primero, del estado actual de la sociología y estableciendo después las bases de lo que es la sociología analítica, para finalizar defendiéndola frente a algunas confusiones y acusaciones habituales.
In the last years an important group of social scientists has felt the need to promote an analytical turn in sociology. This need is due to the fact that some influential sociological trends have slid down the slope of irrationalism, conceptual imprecision, theoretical vagueness and scientific and explanatory futility. The analytical turn would imply, then, to set sociology on a sound basis again. Spanish sociology has been alien neither to the declining of sociology as scientific discipline nor to the analytical turn. So this paper wants to contribute to the current debate starting from the dissection of the present state of the discipline, laying the foundations of analytical sociology, and, finally, defending it against frequent misreadings andaccusations.
