- 10. Historical Background of Social Sciences Quexbook 2018 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.”
- 11. 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
- 12. 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.
- 13. 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.
- 14. 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
- 15. 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
- 16. 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 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.
- 18. 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
- 19. 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.
- 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.
