Social Science

Methodology Transfers Between Social Sciences and Humanities in Relation to Natural Sciences, Technology and Government Policy

---

Social sciences may be regarded as derived from humanities such as philosophy and history, but have been developed in different ways (sometimes parallel but often opposite ways) from humanities. In this chapter, social sciences denote the set of social scientific branches (economics, sociology, etc.) while social science denotes the general concept abstracted from each of social sciences. Analogously, natural sciences denote the set of natural scientific branches (physics, chemistry, etc.), while natural science denotes the general concept abstracted from each of natural sciences. An analogy is the difference between behavioral sciences (the set of behavioral psychology, behavioral sociology, etc.) and behavioral science as a general concept. The general concept abstracted from natural and social sciences and humanities (including arts) are referred to as knowledge (the modern version of medieval scientia). This chapter mainly or almost exclusively discusses western knowledge and ignore eastern or southern one because western knowledge is worldwide dominant in the latest centuries. The global transfer of methodologies of knowledge is a challenging theme but too comprehensive for one chapter. Therefore it will be left for future research.
