10. Lesson 1 Defining Social Sciences 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.

14. What is It Historical Background of Social Sciences Quexbook 2018 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.” The Age of Enlightenment saw a revolution within natural philosophy, changing the basic framework by which individuals understood what was “scientific”. In some quarters, the accelerating trend of mathematical studies 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.

15. 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. ∙ 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.

16. ∙ 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 . According to Stearns et al. (2000) 19th Century Development ∙ 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.

17. According to Stearns et al. (2000) 20th 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. ∙ At this stage the social science has become institutionalized to a high degree. It has now become a subject of research. ∙ 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.

18. Definitions of Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Humanities Social Sciences Denhardt et al. (2009) Social Sciences A branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the relationships among individuals within those societies. “Social sciences as those mental or cultural sciences which deal with the activities of the individual as member of the group. The term social sciences thus embrace all those subjects which deal with the relationship of man to the society.

19. 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.

20. Branches of Natural Science Description 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. a. Physics The science in which matter and energy are studied both separately and in combination with one another. b. 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). 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. Table 1: Two Main Branches of Natural Science Denhardt et al. (2009)

21. Humanities refers to the study of the ways in which the human experience is processed and documented. - encompasses the field of philosophy, literature, religion, art, music, history and language.

22. Social Sciences and Natural Sciences 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.

23. Table 2: Differences of Social Sciences and Natural Sciences Social Science Natural Science Arose 300 years later Deals with subject (human being) It is spontaneous, unpredictable and uncontrollable, as it deals with human emotions and behavior. Experiential Data Typically involves alternative methods of observation and interaction with people within community. Open system Started during the 16th and 17th century. Deals with object. Characterized by exactness, controlled variables, and predictability. Experimental Data The typical method of science is doing repetitive and conventional laboratory experiments. Closed System

24. Social Science and Humanities 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.

25. Table 3: Differences of Social Sciences and Humanities Social Science Humanities Influenced by and developed after the French revolution and the Industrial revolution. Social science deals with more scientific approach. Involves application of an empirical, rational, and objective methodology (such as the use of validity and reliability test) to present facts. Emerged in the 15th century. Humanities involved more of a scientific approach. 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.

26. Table 4: Functions of Social Sciences and Humanities Social Science Humanities To analyze, explain, and possibly predict and produce new knowledge of factual information To generate and produce new knowledge or factual information To better appreciate the meaning and purpose of the human experience - both broadly in the nature of the human condition, as well as within each individual
