Abstract
The intellectual figure of A. Moles is widely known and admired; his works are an illustrative example of the epistemological development of Theory of Information; he developed his huge effort of research putting frequently on its basis his hypothesis and experiments and scientific results about phenomena whose unitary sense is awarded by the Theory of Information. It is not exaggerated to say that no scientific has contributed as him to the consolidation of the informational knowledge applied to human sciences, sciences which he used to call, at the end of his life, "Sciences of The Unexact". The description here exposed about the thought of Moles has taken as a base the personal reflections which A. Moles uttered in his "Intellectual Autobiography" (1993), published under the direction and translation of J. L. Piñuel Raigada in the Sciences of Information Review (Madrid, Universidad Complutense).
