Abstract

JARAMILLO URIBE, Juan Manuel. The Intentional Approach in Social Sciences: A Structuralist View of Intentional Scientific Theories. Prax. filos. [online]. 2020, n.50, pp.141-160. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i50.8783.

With respect to the different models of explanation in the sciences (nomological-deductive, genetic, teleological, dispositiona, etc.) the intentional explantion has special relevance in the social siences and in the explanation allows to differentiate the social sciences from the natural ones. In this paper it si proposed to present, in the context of the metatheoretical structualist view, this intentional explanation and present some cases of its applications in theories such as the Theory of rational choise, games theory and decisión theory when such theories are applied in the social sciences, especiallly in economics.

Keywords : Natural and social sciences; Intentionality; Intentional Theories; Metatheoretical Structuralism.
