10. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SOCIAL SCIENCES ( Quexbook 2018) the history of social sciences begun in the roots of ancient philosophy

11. in ancient history, there was no difference between mathematics and the study of history, poetry or politics,

12. 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”

13. “scientific” disciplines typically involve empirical observation, experimentation, and the formulation of testable hypotheses.

14. “humanities” or “liberal arts” often involve the study of human culture, society, language, literature, and the arts. These fields rely on methods such as critical analysis, interpretation, and the exploration of subjective experiences.

15. 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 .

16. 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.

17. According to Stearns et al. (2000) In the period of 1760 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.

18. The revival of interest in social science occurred in the middle of the 18 th century.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. In the other half of the 18th century, in response to the above there is a multiplication of works with a scientific character.

22. 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.

23. Montesquieu and Voltaire broke a new path for politics and history.

24. According to Stearns et al. (2000) 19 th century development At the beginning of the 19th century, social science had attained in all the leading European countries a firm and respectable position.

25. In the 20th century we can also observe recurrent occasions when proposals for a generalized social science were made.

26. The contribution of Auguste Comte was accepted immediately; Emile Durkheim and the sociologists of the late century and early century were influenced by him.

27. karl marx gave the first general theory of social science.

28. According to Stearns et al. (2000) 20 th century development If we examine the course of development of the various social science disciplines, we find that they follow, on the whole, a pattern through which the older natural sciences also passed.

29. At this stage the social science has become institutionalized to a high degree. It has now become a subject of research.

30. 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 .

31. 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.

32. 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.

33. 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.

34. Definitions of Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Humanities Social Sciences Denhardt et al. (2009)

35. what is science? science can be described generally as an effort to understand, explain and make predictions about the world using distinct methods

36. science is classified into two: social sciences natural sciences

37. what is social sciences? The scientific study of human society and social relationships

38. group of academic disciplines that study human aspects of the world, in particular those involving social behavior and society

39. 1. SOCIOLOGY The study of society, social institutions, social relationships, and human behavior within social contexts. 2. PSYCHOLOGY Focused on the study of the mind and behavior, psychology explores various aspects of cognition, emotion, motivation, perception, and interpersonal relationships.

40. 3. economics The study of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. 4. political science Investigates political systems, government structures, political behavior, and the distribution of power.

41. what is natural sciences? A major branch of science that deals with the description, prediction and understanding of natural phenomena, basically based on observational and empirical evidence.

42. table 1: two main branches of natural science 1. Life science / biological science It studies life in all its forms, past and present. This includes plants, animals, viruses and bacteria, single-celled organisms, and even cells. 2. physical science This is the systematic study of the inorganic world, as distinct from the study of the organic world, which is the province of biological science.

43. 4 TYPES OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE

44. PHYSICS The science in which matter and energy are studied both separately and in combination with one another.

45. ASTRONOMY The scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation).

46. 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.

47. EARTH SCIENCE The study of the Earth and its neighbors in space. It is an exciting science with many interesting and practical applications.

48. what is HUMANITIES? The STUDY OF THE WAYS IN WHICH HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS PROCESSED AND DOCUMENTED

49. encompasses the field of philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language.

50. SOCIAL SCIENCE AND NATURAL SCIENCE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

51. THINGS IN COMMON both sciences employ the scientific model in order to gain information. both sciences use empirical and measured data evidence that can be seen and discerned by the senses. both sciences’ theories can be tested to yield theoretical statements and general positions.

52. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE Arose 300 years later Deals with subject (human being) NATURAL SCIENCE Started during the 16th and 17 th century. Deals with object.

53. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE It is spontaneous, unpredictable and uncontrollable, as it deals with human emotions and behavior. NATURAL SCIENCE Characterized by exactness, controlled variables, and predictability.

54. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE Experiential Data NATURAL SCIENCE Experimental Data

55. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE Typically involves alternative methods of observation and interaction with people within community. NATURAL SCIENCE The typical method of science is doing repetitive and conventional laboratory experiments.

56. SOCIAL SCIENCE AND humanities SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

57. THINGS IN COMMON Both the humanities and social science are concerned with human aspects like, law, politics, linguistics, economics, and psychology as well as human lives and nature

58. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE Influenced by and developed after the French revolution and the Industrial revolution. humanities Emerged in the 15th century.

59. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE deals with more scientific approach. humanities involves more of a scientific approach.

60. DIFFERENCES SOCIAL SCIENCE Involves application of an empirical, rational, and objective methodology (such as the use of validity and reliability test) to present facts. humanities Deemed to be more philosophical and concerned with heritage and the question of what makes us human. It comprises the application of an interpretative methodology.
