| description | This article presents a journey through the thought of Spanish sociologist José Medina Echavarría, whose work has maintained a sense of permanence within Latin American social sciences. Medina Echavarría put into practice in Latin America the sociology of development, introducing the importance of the social. Medina maintained that development does not imply, exclusively, the achievement of economic goals, but that it also must assume the obtaining of democratic ends. Throughout his career, Medina assumed Weberian positions to define, among other matters, the spontaneous forces that can change society. Medina Echavarría’s contribution can be summarized in three essential points: the understanding of a concrete sociology of the culturalist and historicist type; the encounter and understanding among Latin American sociology and other academic disciplines, especially the science of economics; sociology and science as instruments at the service of human beings. |

Este artículo presenta un recorrido por el pensamiento del sociólogo español José Medina Echavarría, cuya obra ha mantenido un sentido de permanencia dentro de las ciencias sociales latinoamericanas. Medina Echavarría puso en práctica, en Latinoamérica, la sociología del desarrollo, introduciendo la importancia de lo social. Medina sostuvo que el desarrollo no implica exclusivamente el logro de metas económicas, sino que también ha de suponer la consecución de fines democráticos. A lo largo de su carrera, Medina asumió los planteamientos weberianos para definir, entre otros aspectos, qué fuerzas espontáneas pueden cambiar la sociedad. El aporte de Medina Echavarría se podría resumir en tres puntos esenciales: la comprensión de una sociología concreta de corte culturalista e historicista; el encuentro y el entendimiento de la sociología latinoamericana con otras disciplinas académicas, particularmente con la ciencia económica; la sociología y la ciencia como instrumento al servicio del hombre.
