RESUMEN: La exigencia de reducir los fenómenos complejos persiste en Ciencias Sociales: para la sociobiología, el conductismo, el materialismo eliminativo, el individualismo metodológico y el fisicalismo en filosofía de la mente, la reducción es un requisito científico indispensable y standard científico central. El propósito en este trabajo es mostrar que en las Ciencias Sociales no es posible aplicar este criterio como prioritario, ya que la realidad se conceptualiza en diferentes niveles ontológicos. Se analizarán trece argumentos que muestran la limitación de esta exigencia epistémica. Las dificultades insuperables del reduccionismo nos llevan a proponer un fisicalismo no reductivo como un modelo que permite concebir simultáneamente a los objetos sociales como emergentes y dependientes de un nivel más básico, con la suposición de una correlación posible, pero no necesaria. Palabras-clave: reducción; Ciencias Sociales; presuposiciones; autonomía de niveles; fisicalismo no reductivo. ON THE LIMITS OF REDUCTION IN SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract: The requirement of reducing complex phenomena in social sciences persists. for sociobiology, behaviorism, eliminative materialism, methodological individualism and physicalism in the philosophy of the mind. Reduction is not only necessary but an important standard to determine the basic ontology of any study. I argue that it is not possible to consider this cognitive value as privileged. The article examines critically thirteen arguments for supporting reduction. Finally, the essay explores the way in which insurmountable difficulties lead to non-reductive physicalism, understanding social phenomena as emergent and depending on basic levels, assuming a possible but not a necessary correlation between different metaphysical levels. Keywords: reduction; Social Sciences; emergence; non-reductive physicalism
