HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE
The history of the social sciences begins in the roots of
ancient philosophy.

• In Ancient history, there was no difference between

Mathematics and the study of History, Poetry or Politics.

• The term ―social science‖ may refer either to the specific

sciences of society established by thinkers such as Comte,
Durkheim, Marx, and Weber, or more generally to all
disciplines outside of noble science and arts.
Plato was an Athenian philosopher
during the Classical period in Ancient
Greece, founder of the Platonist school
of thought, and the Academy, the first
institution of higher learning in
the Western world.

Plato’s philosophy discussed how human

nature or the soul is a reflection of
society and how a society can achieve
harmony by creating classes or divisions.
