This essay aims to understand the dynamics on scientific knowledge in contemporary sociology science, analyzing distancing and approximation on Pierre Bourdieu Scientific Field Theory and Harry Collins Theory of Expertise. For this purpose, a brief analysis of the history of sociology and philosophy of science in the 20th century is presented in the first moment of this paper. Later, an epistemological rupture brought by “Programa Forte” is highlighted considering Thomas Kuhn ideas on that matter. For the second moment of this study, Pierre Bourdieu main propositions are presented, as well as the empirical program of relativism and the scientifical discussion over the experts on Harry Collins perspective.
