Social science
Social science is a category of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. Social science as a whole has many branches. These social sciences include, but are not limited to: anthropology, archaeology, communication studies, economics, history, human geography, jurisprudence, linguistics, political science, psychology, public health, and sociology. The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of sociology, the original "science of society", established in the 19th century. For a more detailed list of sub-disciplines within the social sciences see: Outline of social science.
Scientific Revolution
The transformation of scientific subject also concerns the social sciences. These inherit from a natural philosophy a dispute that authors like Francesco Bacone and Descartes take charge of following. This particular aspect is questioned. Thus arise disciplines that reflect the natural world with social laws. They are sociology, social policy, the specialized study of morality. Authors such as Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer seek a connection with the affirmation of the inductive method, from the 16th century to the 19th century. Sociological science is born in this moment of great evolution for the sciences. Even the history of science seems to include subjects such as new psychology, morality and sociology ( Cfr.
