Picking up aspects of the critics to the hegemonic epistemological paradigm some authors initiated in the mid-20th century, they propose new facets and challenges to think the reconstruction of Social Sciences, based upon parameters connected to their historical conformation processes, the social subjects who are their protagonists (with their own interests and power disputes), and their philosophical and methodological plurality. Both conceive Science not as a hierarchic knowledge superior to others, but as a specific form of knowledge –which importance can’t be denied-, but that coexists with other forms of knowledge that we can and should respect, and that originate social practices, define cultures and produce knowledge. This does not imply to reject or relegate social sciences, but to open up to new conceptions and methodologies on the one hand, and to a democratic dialogue with other forms of knowing and of producing knowledge on the other. El artículo se propone reconstruir las críticas que Immanuel Wallerstein y Boaventura de Sousa Santos realizan al modo en que se han construido y los supuestos sobre los que se asientan las Ciencias Sociales modernas. Retomando algunos aspectos de las críticas al paradigma epistemológico hegemónico que muchos autores iniciaron a mediados del siglo XX, proponen nuevas aristas y desafíos para pensar la reconstrucción de las Ciencias Sociales desde parámetros vinculados a sus procesos históricos de conformación, los sujetos sociales que los protagonizan (con sus intereses y disputas de poder) y su pluralidad filosófica y  metodológica. Ambos conciben a la ciencia no como un saber de jerarquía superior al resto, sino como una forma particular de conocimiento ─cuya importancia no podemos soslayar─, pero que convive con otras formas de saber que podemos y debemos respetar, y que engendran prácticas sociales, conforman culturas y producen conocimiento. Lo cual no implica la negación ni la relegación de las Ciencias Sociales, sino su apertura a nuevas concepciones y metodologías por un lado, y a un diálogo democrático con otras formas de saber y de producir conocimiento, por el otro.
