We are reaching the end of the ideal of Science as imposed by neopositivism whose verifiability postulares imposed the methodology of scientific research and defined what Science was. A significant change has been observed from quantitative to qualitative, from form to function, from the unit of analysis to the individual, from controlled experiments to the observation of authentic data, from immanent meaning to contextualization. The most important that the facts of language are suggestion is socially constructed and not objective data, independent from and extrinsic to the individual. In this way, the data that were considered natural and free from the subjectivity of the observer are now seen as produced by the point of view and research interest, without necessarily giving this a negative connotation. This paper is based on the principle that research methodology only works efficiently if there is a good research problem and a good theory. So, two underlying assumptions are discussed: 1) the rejection of a strict quality-quantity dichotomy and 2) the belief in an investigative posture as the foundation for knowledge. The dilemma is not to opt for a qualitative or quantitative perspective, a structural or a meaningful analysis, a micro or macro observation and so on. The problem is to know what the aim of the research is.
