LA UNIVERSIDAD DE COSTA RICA: CRISOL DE LAS CIENCIAS DEL HOMBRE

Abstract

Institutional consolidation and professionalization of Sociology in Costa Rica emerge as a product of the process encouraged by the university transformation of 1957 and layed out in the III university Congress. Overtakes both levels of development together with Anthropology and Psychology, triad that, despite its relative internal independent development, was known as Sciences of Man. Apart from some slight institutional processes we try some topics that outline the reality and the thought which encloses and supports this institutional baptize.
