Sumario:In this article,we intend to discuss: first,the possible similarities between the sociologies  of  Gilberto  Freyre  and Anthony  Giddens  in the  critique  of the  naturalist-methodological research model; second,how these authors defend the use of tools such as literature or contact with common sense for the empirical analysis of social life. With regard to the Brazilian sociologist, we will be guided by the process of consolidation of sociologyas  an  academic  discipline  in  Brazil  and by the question of  specialization. Regarding Anthony  Giddens,  we  will  try  to  extract  from  Structuration  Theory,  as  an attempt  to  reconcile  agency  and  structure,  reflections  on  the  limits  of  methodological naturalism  and  the  role  of  common  language  for  social  research  activity,  within  the interpretivist orientation he shares with Freyre.
