However, if those sciences, in the name of objectivity and methodologicalrigour, have asserted themselves since the outset, by adopting models which were notalways adjusted once they were reductive, the truth is it was from this dynamic thatthe concept of prevailing scientificity turned out to be questioned, such, by graduallyaccepting the coexistence of a multiplicity of epistemological referential. We refer here inparticular to the qualitative methodologies, the stochastic theories and the paradigm ofcomplexity.
