The double conditioning between the society and the scientific and technological knowledge refers to the strategic place of knowledge in the economy of capitalist society, as well as in the functioning of the state and the resolution of social issues. On the other hand, the scientific and technological development has also negative aspects that result in serious problems and crises. The social sciences currently face the challenge of developing concepts and theories to serve as tools to understand and act on processes that have a strong impact on everyday life. The perspective of complexity, with its dialogues and inter- and transdisciplinary practices, seems like a good way to deal with the uncertainties of the contemporary world, which is certainly complex. This paper presents part of the debate on current scientific practice.
