Disciplines and
Ideas in the
Social Sciences
The course introduces students to basic concepts, subjects, and methods of
inquiry in the disciplines that comprise the Social Sciences for Senior High School
students. It then discusses influential thinkers and ideas in these disciplines, and relates
First Semester
these ideas to the Philippine setting and current global trends.

Module 1: Emergence of the Social Sciences


Introduction:
This module will give you insights about Social Sciences as the study of society. It will also help
you trace the historical foundations and social contexts that will led to the development of Social
Science disciplines and their fields, main areas of inquiry, and methods.
As a learner, when you study our society, you also examine yourself and the community where
you belong. Social sciences do help in providing the necessary perspective and methodological tools in
order for you to understand the realities around that are more often than not, “hidden” from the “normal”
understanding of the world. Identifying what comprises the society is one of the easiest parts of the
social science agenda since it entails elucidation and recording of social phenomena.
Learning Objectives:
You will differentiate the nature and functions of Social Science disciplines with the
Natural Sciences and Humanities.
Specifically, this module will help you to:
 describe Social Sciences as a comprehensive study of society;
 compare and contrast Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Humanities;
 appreciate the importance of Social Sciences as instruments to deeply understand the society

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

What comes into your mind when you hear the word “society”? Technically, society is usually
described as an organized group of individuals whose members work together or regularly meet and
have a shared territory, interest, and way of living. Likewise, it signifies companionship or association
with others. According to several philosophers, society is the outcome of the purposeful activities of the
people who came together for the achievement of a shared goal. Seems clear, right? However, do you
think it is enough for you to fully understand our society by merely using these definitions? Of course, it
is not enough. Society is too difficult to study due to its problems and complexities. That is why there is
a need for us to have helpful tools in comprehending these matters.
In this lesson, you will learn about the significance of Social Sciences as advantageous
instruments in studying the different facets of our society and understanding the burning issues and
complications surrounding it. In addition, you will also recognize the similarities and differences of
Social Sciences to other disciplines such as Natural Sciences and Humanities.

DISCUSSIONS

Lesson
1
Emergence of the Social Sciences

Do you still remember the Battle of Marawi or


more popularly known as Marawi Siege? For historians,
it will never be forgotten since this armed conflict is
considered as the longest urban battle in Philippine
modern history. This five-month-long armed conflict
between the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the
militants, including the Maute group and the Abu
Sayyaf that are both associated with the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), had caused
over a thousand casualties and left the beautiful https://tl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talaksan:Bombing_on_Marawi_City.jp
g
Islamic City of Marawi in ruins. On October 17, 2017,
the day after the militant leaders of both groups were reportedly killed during an operation, this battle
finally ended, and Marawi City was liberated. However, the impact of this urban battle can still be seen,
especially on the people of Marawi City who lived through its terrors. That is why many Filipinos are
asking about the government’s preparedness for this kind of conflict and the measures that it is doing to
prevent another battle to commence. Luckily, these questions can be resolved by the various
disciplines of Social Sciences, which investigate the different factors that affect and shape individuals
and societies such as culture, history, politics, and many more. Social Sciences, as the systematic
study of human society, can be considered as helpful tools that provide the necessary knowledge and
skills for us to deeply understand several social phenomena and, more importantly, to make our world a
better place to live in.

SOCIAL SCIENCES
Essentially, the term “Social Sciences” is defined as the body of knowledge concerned with the
methodical study of various aspects of our society, numerous social phenomena, and the impacts of
these occurrences on people’s lives. It is characterized as the area of study that deals with the human
behavior in its cultural and social facets. Also, it is considered as the branch of science that focuses on
the interpersonal relationships among people living in a society. Over the past centuries, Social
Sciences focused on the contributing factors or elements that molded and governed the development of
the human civilization. Speaking of elements, what are the important elements of Social Sciences?

ELEMENTS OF SOCIAL SCIENCES


As you can see, there are two words comprising the term “Social Sciences.” These words
represent the two substantial elements of Social Sciences, which are the society (social) and the
empirical analysis (science). Society, the first element of Social Sciences, puts the entire body of
knowledge in individuals as social beings and their social backgrounds or environments. It situates
Social Sciences in people and social issues that are affecting them. On the other hand, empirical
analysis places the Social Sciences in an academic mode of investigation about human society using
the scientific method, the systematic and rational process of obtaining knowledge. Because of this
element, learning about society and understanding the things that are happening in it need to be
conducted experimentally such as having a keen observation, critical analysis, and interpretation of
social facts, which include data and information about a particular social phenomenon, identified from
the individuals living within a certain society. This element is also the reason why Social Sciences are
recognized as scientific disciplines, which help people grasp the idea of society and its complexities.
Now, the question is: How Social Sciences started to be recognized as scientific disciplines?

HISTORY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES


The roots of some of the important concepts and purposes of Social Sciences go completely
back to the ancient Greece. The contributions of the ancient Greece in the area of social thought are
still noticeable even up to these days. We have Social Sciences today because of the Greeks’
willpower to understand everything in the essence of rational inquiry. Without this determination, the
Renaissance and the Enlightenment, two historical periods where some of the major evolutionary ideas
emerged, would not have served their own respective purposes in the course of our civilization,
especially the Enlightenment (17th-18th century) where the study of society started to become somewhat
scientific.
Before and during the Age of Enlightenment,
the approaches used by several social philosophers in
examining human societies were much more
philosophical than scientific. Numerous philosophes,
the intellectuals or social philosophers who shaped the 18th century Enlightenment,
considered this as a disagreeable continuing influence
of the past that is needed to be opposed through
enlightenment, critical reason, and, if necessary,
revolution. Because of this new spirit, several important Figure contributions

http://www.stanislasurbietorbi.com/stanislas/repas-votaire.htm
Sciences during the Age of Enlightenment such as growth when it comes to the consciousness of the
diversity of human experience in our world, spreading sense of the cultural or social character of human
actions within society, and, most prominently, the development of ideal of a science of society, a
distinct area of study that has its particular distinctive focus of attention.
Although Social Sciences have their own distinguishing
subject matters, these fields utilize the same philosophical system
that directed the progress of other disciplines such as Physical
Sciences and Biological Sciences, and that is Positivism.
Positivism is a philosophy that believes that every single
reasonable affirmation can be scientifically proven or tested by
empirical sciences or is capable of mathematical or logical
evidence. Furthermore, it holds that for us to attain a certain
scientific idea, objectivity and practical investigation of evidences
must be observed. This philosophical theory is guiding Social
Sciences in grasping and explaining numerous social phenomena Figure 3: Auguste Comte
through systematic observations, critical analyses, and https://tl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talak
san:Auguste_Comte2.jpg
interpretations of social facts found among the people living in a
specific society such as interpersonal relationships and human activities. Auguste Comte (1798-1857),
the founder of Positivism and the one who foreshadowed the use of this philosophy in studying human
behaviors, argued that metaphysics and theology are imperfect methods in searching for knowledge;
that rational thought is far more powerful in comparison to faith and superstition in explaining different
social phenomena. He proposed that theism and metaphysics should be rejected since these modes of
knowledge cannot be proven by empirical analysis and, therefore, are unreliable. Now that you already
knew that Social Sciences are also employing the scientific method in studying their own subject
matters, the next question is: What makes Social Sciences different from other disciplines like Natural
Sciences and Humanities?

NATURAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES


What makes Social Sciences unique from other
areas of study such as Natural Sciences and Humanities
is that these disciplines concentrate on analyzing and
explaining the different aspects of social life of the
individuals including their behaviors. Also, these fields
focus on observing and interpreting various social
phenomena. On the other hand, Natural Sciences, or
the sciences of nature, give attention on investigating Figure 4: Natural Science
https://pixabay.com/de/illustrations/physik-
every single natural phenomenon that occurred, or wissenschaft-medizin-dna-140901/

is currently happening, in our world using tangible evidences like natural forces, fossils, and artifacts.
These areas of study explore the laws of nature that rule our world through objective and empirical
approaches. Also, Natural Sciences can be further categorized into Physical Sciences, Biological
Sciences, Earth Sciences and many more. Humanities, differently, are academic disciplines that study
numerous human conditions and the manners wherein the human experiences are treated and
recorded. Additionally, these studies aim to comprehend the human perspective of individuals’ social
existence and the responses these people are displaying on different occurrences. For instance, the
literary works of Jose Rizal, such as Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, aim to educate the
Filipinos on the persecutions experienced by our countrymen during the Spanish regime.
Even though these three fields of study are different from one another, they are also sharing a
few similarities in some areas. Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Humanities are all employing the
scientific method in producing knowledge, though this systematic process is more usual in Social
Sciences and Natural Sciences since Humanities are more focused on the creative expressions of
human experiences. When it comes to the similarity between Social Sciences and Humanities, some of
the disciplines of Social Sciences are also affiliated with Humanities such as Anthropology, Linguistics,
and, especially, History. History is considered as the borderline to the two fields of knowledge since its
methods and insights penetrate both Social Sciences and Humanities.
