The epistemology of social sciences can help us make sense of the multifarious literature on legal pluralism, and of the different conceptions of the term that have been proposed. More specifically, legal pluralism is here devised as a theoretical programme and its influence on the production of social-scientific knowledge is analysed. The investigation concentrates on the role of the concept in the selection of relevant data and on the intelligibility structure imposed on them.</p><p>Este art&iacute;culo reconstruye el desarrollo de la situaci&oacute;n de la teor&iacute;a de pluralismo jur&iacute;dico: aunque en un principio el t&eacute;rmino se utiliz&oacute; como una etiqueta descriptiva referida a una situaci&oacute;n que se observaba en el mundo, hoy en d&iacute;a se necesita una comprensi&oacute;n m&aacute;s sofisticada del rol del concepto. La epistemolog&iacute;a de las ciencias sociales puede ayudar a dar sentido a la literatura heterog&eacute;nea sobre pluralismo jur&iacute;dico, as&iacute; como a las diferentes concepciones del t&eacute;rmino que se han propuesto. M&aacute;s espec&iacute;ficamente, aqu&iacute; se concibe el pluralismo jur&iacute;dico como un programa te&oacute;rico y se analiza su influencia en la producci&oacute;n de conocimiento cient&iacute;fico social. La investigaci&oacute;n se concentra en el papel del concepto en la selecci&oacute;n de datos relevantes y en la estructura de inteligibilidad impuesta sobre ellos.</p><p><strong>DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN</strong>: <a href="http://ssrn.com/abstract=2833822" target="_blank">http://ssrn.com/abstract=2833822</a></p> ER -
