Lesson
Defining Social Sciences
1 as 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.

What is It
Historical Background of Social Sciences Quexbook2018
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.”

www.shsph.blogspot.com
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
5
www.shsph.blogspot.com
• 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.
A major branch of science that deals with the description, prediction and
understanding of natural phenomena, basically based on observational and
empirical evidence.

c. Chemistry The study of matter and its transformations and the
development of methods to manipulate those
transformations to create new and useful forms of
matter.
d. Earth Science The study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. 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.

and language.
