Nature and
Functions
of Social
Sciences
Disciplines
Social sciences consist of a variety of disciplines,
subject areas, and methods, and there is no reason
to expect that these disciplines will eventually add
up to a single unified theory of society. Political
science, sociology, history, anthropology,
economics, geography, and area studies all
provide their own, largely independent, definitions
of scope, research agenda, and research methods.
Anthropology, Demography,
Economics, Geography, History,
Linguistics, Political Science,
Psychology, and Sociology are
the nine social science
disciplines.
