摘要：This paper analyses the gnoseological limits that restrict the contrasting of different paradigms. To this, a methodological programme is sketched in order to circumvent the apparent state of epistemic stagnation in which researchers may find themselves in the assumptions in which the theses under debate, as regards the heuristics of the sensitive material of study, reveal such a deleterious condition. It is argued that, in order to overcome the aforementioned state, the debate between different conceptual schemes can hardly be a sufficient condition. It is necessary to find new empirical regularities within each of the paradigms of reference or the adoption of new epistemological approaches, dissimilar to the traditional ones.
