A couple of years ago, the Cuban philosopher, Pablo Guadarrama, wrote an article titled: "Criticism of epistemological reductionisms in the social sciences." The aim of this paper will be to show how the reading made by this philosopher can lead to a misunderstanding of phenomenology. Instead of indicating some omissions about phenomenology made by Guadarrama, this text tries to explain how phenomenology, instead of being an epistemological reductionism, could facilitate some "integral investigations" in social science. To fulfill this objective, the article starts with a succinct presentation of Guadarrama's thesis; later, some aspects that do not correspond with an informed interpretation of phenomenology are pointed out. Finally, the article presents some arguments about the importance of phenomenology in the social science framework. The possibilities of phenomenology for "real" research in social sciences are noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work looks for to establish of preliminary form relations of causality between attributes of district or microdistrict and the prices of the new departments in a market in expansion. In that sense, an analysis by means of a product model settled down and the resulting data base was put under a geographic and space analysis. Later a multivaried analysis was applied, with a view to considering significant coefficients of causality. The conclusion confirms the valued real estate attribute more is the distance to the center of the microzone and that the green areas are located like a substitute for projects that are remoter of the center.

Aguirre, Carlos. Psychological Approach (reincarnation and karma). The West, rationalist, has done its utmost to conquer exterior space. For the East, intuitive, the conquest has been of the interior. Jung discovers the collective unconscious, with its archetypes, psychological equivalents of the samskaras or footprints of past lives. There are seven basic archetypes, one of which is Self which integrates all of the rest. Within the archetypes there is a karmic factor which includes the residue of ancestral life. Stevenson and others have tried to prove reincarnation, through rational means, although Stevenson rejects hypnotic regression since the subject reflects the mental world, conscious and unconscious, of the hypnotist. People object to Stevenson because most of his investigations have been done in cultures which openly believe in reincarnation. Other investigators think that hypnotic regression not only reactivates the memories of past lives, but that it has a therapeutic function. There's a bridge which can be built between the oriental and occidental psychologies: it invites us to think about karma not in the sense of misfortune, but in a sense of finality or mandate, and not as a law of moral retribution. Karma is the meaning that I am going to give to my life. With my scientific rational thought I hope that interest in this phenomenon doesn't decline. I am uneasy studying eastern thought and practicing some of its meditative techniques, because my spiritual evolution in the Christian faith is not based on this concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
