Bourdieu and Passeron are strictly linked with the French epistemological tradition named Historical Epistemology. In this paper, the author reconstructs the application of epistemological regionalism in sociology. The concept/theory of epistemological regionalism was formulated first by Bachelard and then developed by Canguilhem. It was then employed by Bourdieu and Passeron in order to describe the characteristics of sociological rationalism. After the separation from Bourdieu, Passeron developed the notion of style of reasoning (inspired by Hacking and Crombie theories). A specific focus in the article/paper is devoted to the topic of disciplinary boundaries in social science and humanities. The aim is to give a coherent reconstruction of the epistemological and sociological assumption of Bourdieu and Passeron about the disciplinary divisions on the field of social sciences and humanities.

Abstract
Bourdieu and Passeron are strictly linked with the French epistemological tradition named Historical Epistemology. In this paper, the author reconstructs the application of epistemological regionalism in sociology. The concept/theory of epistemological regionalism was formulated first by Bachelard and then developed by Canguilhem. It was then employed by Bourdieu and Passeron in order to describe the characteristics of sociological rationalism. After the separation from Bourdieu, Passeron developed the notion of style of reasoning (inspired by Hacking and Crombie theories). A specific focus in the article/paper is devoted to the topic of disciplinary boundaries in social science and humanities. The aim is to give a coherent reconstruction of the epistemological and sociological assumption of Bourdieu and Passeron about the disciplinary divisions on the field of social sciences and humanities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
