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

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.

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
  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.

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.

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

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

6
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.

Table 1: Two Main Branches of Natural Science

Branches of Natural
Description
Science
It studies life in all its forms, past and present.
1. Life Science/
This includes plants, animals, viruses and bacteria,
Biological Science
single-celled organisms, and even cells.
This is the systematic study of the inorganic world,
2. Physical Science as distinct from the study of the organic world,
which is the province of biological science.
The science in which matter and energy are studied
a. Physics both separately and in combination with one
another.
The scientific study of celestial objects (such as
b. Astronomy stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and
phenomena that originate outside the Earth's
atmosphere (such as the cosmic background
radiation).
The study of matter and its transformations and
c. Chemistry the development of methods to manipulate those
transformations to create new and useful forms of
matter.
The study of the Earth and its neighbors in space.
d. Earth Science It is an exciting science with many interesting and
practical applications.

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.

7
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.

Things in Common

Both the humanities and social science are concerned with human
aspects like, law, politics, linguistics, economics, and psychology as well as
human luves and nature

Social Science Humanities

 Influenced by and developed after 

 Involves application of an empirical,
rational, and objective methodology
(such as the use of validity and

Social Science Humanities

 To analyze, explain, and possibly

knowledge of factual information
 To generate and produce new
knowledge or factual information
 To better appreciate the meaning
and purpose of the human
experience - both broadly in the
nature of the human condition, as
well as within each individual
