Abstract: Given that research in the social sciences is increasingly turned toward modelization, quantitative methods or experimentation, it is important to lay new foundations for the "qualitative approach". Drawing from his recently published book devoted to the methodology of qualitative research, the author has identified the epistemological risks associated with this type of research and the scientific results to be expected of it.
