In relation to the topic of paradigms in Sociology, multiple and opposing discussions have arisen, showing the tension that allows us to propose a unified framework with the plurality of approaches that characterize the social sciences. The article deals with the contributions of Thomas Kuhn and Pierre Bourdieu, thinkers who, from different perspectives, have provided tools for understanding how sociological knowledge is both founded and transformed. The term "paradigm" (Kuhn, 1962), as a construct in the philosophy of science, has been central to epistemological reflection. For Kuhn, paradigms are references or exemplary scientific achievements accepted by a community, allowing for the resolution of "puzzles" in normal science without questioning principles. On the other hand, although Pierre Bourdieu does not fully develop the concept of paradigm, Sandoval Aragón (2021) considers Bourdieu's sociology to be the most complete expression of a sociological paradigm, given that it articulates a disciplinary matrix that combines epistemological and ethical elements, as well as the imperative of reflexivity. In sociology, paradigms allow for the construction of theoretical frameworks that limit and guide the way we understand social reality, around which theories are grouped into coherent approaches such as functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. However, the coexistence of paradigms without a full Kuhnian consensus on the matter highlights the ideological and relational complexity of the social, as Follari (2001) argues. In turn, Bourdieu presents reflexivity as a way of transcending the boundaries of paradigms, constructing relational objects from the notions of habitus and field.
