science
disciplines. When Herodotus recorded important events in the
Greek- Persian Wars, he took to account the cultural
background of Greece and Persia.
The study of anthropology was advanced by Franz Boas
(1858-1942), known as the "Father of Modern
Anthropology".
Boas introduced the concept of cultural relativism which
is a point of view that sees all cultures to be equal with
each other. There is no such thing as superior or inferior
culture.
He is also one of the pioneers who fought discrimination
against immigrants, blacks, and indigenous peoples of
America.
Boas believed that through anthropology, people would
have a wider understanding of human interaction by
studying its culture. His social reforms and theories
were adopted by anthropologists today.

Demography (study of human population)

The study of human population has its roots as early as
the ancient period. Kautilya, a contemporary of Plato,
believed that a large population is a source of military,
political and economic strength of a nation.
This was also supported by Ibn Khaldin, a 14th century
Arab historian, who believed that a large population is
important for expansion of imperial power. However,
this thinking was also reversed when an increase in
population growth is seen as a threat in developing
countries.
Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) an economist and
writer of An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798)
declared that population increases at a faster rate than
the food supply. As a result, humanity is never far from
starvation (Perry, 1989, p. 531).
John Graunt (1623-1687) is regarded as the founder of
demography. His book Natural and Political
Observations Made Upon the Bills of Mortality (1662)
laid the foundation for modern statistics and
demography.

Economics (study of efficient allocation of scarce

resources)
The period of Enlightenment has inspired the birth of
Economics (dela Cruz et al., 2016, p. 26). Adam Smith
(1723-1790), regarded as the Father of Economics, is
credited for creating the field of Economics.
His book entitled An Inquiry to Nature and Causes of
the Wealth of Nations (1776) lays the foundations for
economic theories and doctrine. Smith advocated the
doctine of laissez faire (let alone policy) which means
that government should not interfere with business. This
paved the way for the creation of a free-market
economy.
The Industrial Revolution (1760-1840), a period in
history characterized by rapid industrialization and
urbanization brought about by the advances in
technology, saw the development of new economic
theories. 19th century thinkers spent a great deal in
offering solutions to the impact of industrialization.
David Ricardo (1772-1823) applied the principles of
laissez faire to wages to maximize profit while Karl
Marx (1818- 1883) advocated socialism to protect the
rights of the laborers from the abuses of the capitalists.
Ricardo and Marx were two of the pioneers who
developed economic theories as a response to the impact
of industrialization.

Geography (study of the interaction between the

natural environment and the people living in it)
It was during the Hellenistic Age (323 BC-30 BC), a
period when Greek cultural influence and power
reached the peak of its geographical expansion, that the
science of geography emerged.
Eratosthenes (276-194 BC), chief librarian of the
Alexandria Library, pioneered the study of geography.
He is the first person to use the term "geography" and is
also regarded as the "Father of Geography". He is also
best known for being the first person to calculate the
circumference of the earth. He also created the first
global projection of the world using parallels and
meridians based on the available geographic knowledge
during his time.
He also wrote the three-book volume Geographika, a
compilation of his study on the nature of the surface of
the earth focusing on the inhabited portions and the
people living in it). His book became the inspiration for
the consequent works and studies of other geographers.
History (study of important recorded events)
Herodotus (484-425 BC) is considered as the "Father of
History". He is credited as the first historian to employ
historical methods in writing history.
Thucydides (460-400 BC) improved the writing
techniques of Herodotus and emphasized factual
reporting when he recorded the events during the
Peloponnesian War. He applied strict standards of
impartiality and evidence gathering to establish facts.

Linguistics (the scientific study of language)

The science of linguistics has been pioneered by the
Sophists during ancient Greece. Sophists are teachers
who traveled from city-to-city teaching speech,
grammar, poetry, gymnastics, mathematics, and music
to the Athenian youth.
It is believed then that when a person masters the art of
public speaking, they have a higher chance to succeed in
politics.
Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) laid the
foundation of western linguistics as part of the study of
rhetoric on his book Poetics.
Noam Chomsky (1928- ) regarded as the Father of
Linguistics has published books in linguistics and
became a dominant model of formal linguistics in recent
decades.

Political Science (study of politics, power, and

government)
Analysis of politics started as early as the times of
Confucius (551- 479 BC) in ancient China and of Greek
philosophers Plato and Aristotle in ancient Greece.
Plato (427-347 BC) was the first thinker to analyze
political systems. He expressed his political ideas in his
book, the Republic, which is a description of an ideal
state.
While Aristotle (384-322 BC) is regarded as the Father
of Political Science, Plato is considered a pioneer in the
field of political inquiry. His book entitled Politics
looked at different forms of government in terms of how
they were run and what benefits and responsibilities
their citizens had. His political views became a source
of inspiration to political thinkers such as Thomas
Hobbes and John Locke.
Thomas Hobbes (1558-1679) wrote the book Leviathan.
He believed that a strong ruler was needed to impose
order in the state. On the other hand, John Locke (1632-
1704) wrote Two Treatises of Government. He believes
that the purpose of the government is to protect the
“natural rights” of its citizens.
According to Locke, all people are born free and equal
with a right to life, liberty, property, and pursuit of
happiness. He also believed that if a government fails to
protect the rights of its citizens, the people have the
right or duty to overthrow the government and establish
a better one.
Locke’s theory of government was immensely
influential in modern political thinking. His principle
that government derives its power from the consent of
the people became the foundation of modern
democracy.

Psychology (study of behavior and mental processes)

The development of psychology could be dated back as
early as the ancient Greece when Aristotle (384-322
BC) claimed that the brain is the seat of the rational
human mind.
The science of psychology was founded by Wilhelm
Wundt (1832-1920), a German psychologist and is
considered as the Father of Modern Psychology. He
distinguished psychology as a science from philosophy
and biology. He was also the first person to ever call
himself a “psychologist”. Wundt also founded the first
formal laboratory for psychological research.
Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936), a Russian experimental
scientist, studied the behavior and nervous system of
animals. He found that an animal’s involuntary actions-
its reflexes could be changed or conditioned through
training.
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), an Austrian neurologist
pursued to understand the workings of an unconscious
mind, which he deemed to be the source of human
actions. Freud developed the method known as
psychoanalysis, in which mental and emotional
problems and disorders are treated by trying to discover
their sources in the unconscious mind.

Sociology (study of social interactions)

The science of sociology was born because of social
changes brought about by the impact of the Industrial
Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution created massive changes not
only in the field of technology and manufacturing
processes, but also in the work and living pattern of the
people.
The term sociology was invented by a French
philosopher, Auguste Comte (1798-1857). He
emphasized that the study of society must be scientific.
Comte favored positivism, which is a way of
understanding that is based on science. He envisioned a
process of social change in which sociologists play
important roles in guiding society.
Aside from Comte, Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) and
Max Weber (1864-1920) were also considered as
pioneer thinkers in sociology in the early 1900’s.
They did careful research, gathered information, and
analyzed their findings in attempts to find out what
factors affect the ways people behave in groups.
Durkheim argued that sociology should be the study of
social facts. This is the method he used in studying why
people commit suicides. Weber, on the other hand
advocated a value free sociology, which means it must
be approached without the personal bias of the
sociologist. He believed that people must be critical in
their concepts and evidence, and they must follow strict
