Abstract

The intention of this work is to promote the reflection, in a discipline of essentially social character, like the Occupational Therapy, on the roll that the mensurable thing plays and the danger that concerns to consider quantitative and the formalization as the only valid forms of production of the knowledge.

This reflection registers in the present epistemologic debate of social sciences, that focus in the qualitative and quantitative aspects, the measurement, the formalization and its reaches.

The used method to approximate to us and to examine this thematic one is the one of the search and bibliographical revision, and the analysis of the central concepts of the thematic one on which we considered the present investigation.
