Duras Críticas às Ciências Sociais Contidas na Obra "Epistemologia: Curso de Atualização", de Mario Bunge.

This article aims to synthesize the criticisms made by Mario Bunge to the Social Sciences contained in the second edition of the work "Epistemologia: curso de atualização". The results represent a synthesis of the author's philosophical examination of the sociological vocabulary, which results in a "sanitation of the sociological vocabulary". We believe that the synthesis of these criticisms can help young researchers in the great area of Social Sciences to understand them, and to consider them in their research efforts. The results are useful for future studies, which can use them to offer updated answers to such criticisms, revealing, mainly, how the area reacted to them, changing or even ignoring them.
