Abstract

This note makes a retrospective and prospective look at the discipline of Statistics Applied to Social Sciences, in light of current developments in the understanding of social facts, and of the instrumental developments of Applied Informatics to data analysis. Statistics, as “Data Science” must adapt to the analysis of both the data that determine the objective conditions, and those that allow inferring the subjective dispositions of the actors who participate in a social fact, and thus account for the conditions of possibility that contribute to the study of “what happens” in society.
