Social science was influenced by positivism, focusing on knowledge based on actual positive sense experience and avoiding the negative;  metaphysical  speculation was avoided.  Auguste Comte  used the term  science sociale  to describe the field, taken from the ideas of  Charles Fourier ; Comte also referred to the field as  social physics
