%X this work tries to elaborate a critical epistemological inquiry that enriches the debate about the possibility or impossibility of approaching social and human science phenomena in a neutral and/or objective way. starting from a view based on french post-structuralist theory, and more specifically, on contributions from lacanian psychoanalysis, conclusions will be that psychoanalysis, at least lacanian psychoanalysis, taken up again in a different way by other authors such as zizek, has consistently shown that this supposed objectivism is impossible. objective reality can be no more than a utopia, because all reality is constructed by a language, a symbolic order which is contingent, therefore relative. without falling into postmodern relativism, the fact that there is no truth with a capital letter does not imply that there are no truths.
