Résumé anglais Pierre Lantz, Subjectivity and Subject of Knowledge In constructing society as an object of knowledge, sociology attributes a constraining power to society that rules out understanding how the subject whether rational or sensual, can chose its own norms. This statement concerns holistic methodology as much as it does methodological individualism. Sociology has, thusly, accomplished the initial project of the nineteenth century of opposing Enlightenment philosophy with the fact-value dichotomy. This dissociation is incompatible with the only legitimacy which gives coherence to institutions and social practices in the societies where sociology was generated : the emancipation of the subjects and their alienation from traditional values. The categories and the symbols with which the subjects form themselves as actors must, therefore, be objects of sociological knowledge.
