Can the jurist discourse as a social scientist? (Possibilities and impossibilities of law as a social "science")

Abstract

Knowledge produced in nearly all Social Sciences (Sociology, Political Science,
Linguistics, etc.) is almost useless or useless at all —except for scientists themselves
or for their own publishing-market. On the contrary, legal precepts and the doctrine
applied to them bring about a large variety of real effects on the concrete life of all
people. The price paid for that efficiency is having law built as a web of discourses
without genuine scientific rigor.
