Lesson
Defining Social Sciences as
1 the Study of Society

The scientific study of organized human groups is a relatively recent


development, but a vast amount of information has been accumulated concerning
the social life of human beings. This information has been used in building a
system of knowledge called Social Sciences about the nature, growth and
functioning of human societies.

Notes to the Teacher


This Alternative Delivery Mode has been developed to help
you facilitate the learners in understanding the emergence of the
social sciences, things in common and differences of social
sciences to natural sciences and humanities.

What is It

Historical Background of Social Sciences Quexbook 2018

The history of the social sciences begun in the roots of ancient philosophy.
In ancient history, there was no difference between Mathematics and the study of
history, poetry or politics, only with the development of mathematical proof did
there gradually arise a perceived difference between “scientific” disciplines and
others such as the “humanities” or “liberal arts.”

The Age of Enlightenment saw a revolution within natural philosophy,


changing the basic framework by which individuals understood what was
“scientific”. In some quarters, the accelerating trend of mathematical studies
presumed a reality independent of the observer and worked by its own rules. Social
sciences came forth from the moral philosophy of the time and were influenced by
the Age of Revolution, such as the Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution.
The Social Sciences developed from the sciences (experimental and applied), or the
systematic knowledge - bases or prescriptive practices, relating to the social
improvement of a group of interacting entities.

According to Stearns et al. (2000) In the period of 1760

 Some effort was spent on the study of man and society. Hobbes` Leviathan;
Lock’s Two Treatises on Government; Vico`s New Science; and Montesquieu
Spirit of Laws were all published in this period.
 The revival of interest in social science occurred in the middle of the 18th
century.
 By the middle of 18th century, capitalism had begun to outgrow its early state
and gradually it became the dominant socio-economic system in western and
northern Europe.
 In the second half of the 18th century, urbanization and population growth
became accelerated, and during this period slums, alcoholism, brutality of
manners etc. developed which were to become the targets of social reforms.
 In the other half of the 18th century, in response to the above there is a
multiplication of works with a scientific character.

5
www.shsph.blogspot.com
 Auguste comte (1798-1853) invented the term sociology. He was the first to
systematize and give a complete analysis of the principles of the positive
character of the Social Sciences.
 Montesquieu and Voltaire broke a new path for politics and history.

According to Stearns et al. (2000) 19th Century Development

 At the beginning of the 19th century, social science had attained in all the
leading European countries a firm and respectable position.
 In the 20th century we can also observe recurrent occasions when proposals
for a generalized social science were made.
 The contribution of Auguste Comte was accepted immediately; Emile
Durkheim and the sociologists of the late century and early century were
influenced by him.
 Karl Marx gave the first general theory of social science.

According to Stearns et al. (2000) 20th Century Development

 If we examine the course of development of the various social science


disciplines, we find that they follow, on the whole, a pattern through which the
older natural sciences also passed.
 At this stage the social science has become institutionalized to a high degree.
It has now become a subject of research.
 Lawrence A. Kempton in his article “Social Sciences Today” states that social
science as science is very young and there is confusion with regards to its
limits and boundaries.
 History moves in to the humanities, economics becomes Mathematics,
anthropology and psychology ally themselves with biology and the geography
is at home with physical science.
 While in its initial period, it may have been the pre-occupation of a group of
semi-amateurs, philosopher, practical men in business and government, or
gentleman of leisure; it now has become a subject of research on the part of
academic specialists.
 In the third and the most mature stage of discipline the battles over method
have subsided, the theoretical rivalries tend to be submerged in the efforts to
elaborate propositions bridging the differences and contributing towards the
further progress of the discipline.

Definitions of Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and


Humanities Social Sciences Denhardt et al. (2009)
Social Sciences
A branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the relationships
among individuals within those societies. “Social sciences as those mental or
cultural sciences which deal with the activities of the individual as member of the
group. The term social sciences thus embrace all those subjects which deal with
the relationship of man to the society.

Natural Sciences

A major branch of science that deals with the description, prediction and
understanding of natural phenomena, basically based on observational and
empirical evidence.

Humanities

- refers to the study of the ways in which the human experience is processed
and documented.
- encompasses the field of philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history
and language.

Social Sciences and Natural Sciences

Things in Common

- both sciences employ the scientific model in order to gain information.


- both sciences use empirical and measured data evidence that can be seen
and discerned by the senses.
- both sciences’ theories can be tested to yield theoretical statements and
general positions.
