What is the difference between social science and nature science?
——an action science review
What is the difference between nature science and science? To be frankly, I don’t know it clearly or. But one thing I am sure is that, to same extent nature science is describe .you describe something that have already exist , it is describe , so nature science is discover; as for social science , it is something like design, you design something that doesn’t exist. You create something, you design it and you make it happen. Maybe, nature science is about explained, facts happen before reasons; To the contrary, social science is that reasons happen before facts. We give it some reason, design something should happen and the way they happen, and we see the fact.
I know that my words is not correct, because you can give me many examples that social science is discoverable, someone find some rule of society development. And many nature scientists invited or created something that has never existed, for example airplane. It is true, and my purpose to rewrite this paper is not to let you believe that nature science is discover and social science is create, that is not my purpose . But please think the examples mentioned before once more, nature scientist created airplane because they discovered air rules, something we called social development rules may not exist. Until now I think I find another difference between nature science and social science , nature science have some rules, whenever you make the same condition happen you got the same result, but as for social science you can never make the same conditions happen. Why we call something science, because we think it is confirmable, we can make it happen again if we got the same condition. If we cannot make if happen again, why we call it a science? But in fact we call it a science, why? My motivation is not to prove that social science is not science. We can’t make social phenomena happen again not because they can’t happen, just because we can’t make the same conditions happen, it is not a problem about the phenomena itself, it is some problems out of the phenomena. We can’t make it happen again, but it happened.
Here comes the third difference between social science and nature science. Nature science is about reason and result, social science is about connecting. In nature science we can find direct reason and result, as for social science what we can do is just suppose there exist some connecting relationships, some things happened once at a time or happened orderly, there exist some possible reasons and those reasons can be divided into some main causes . If these main causes happen, you will got the quasi-result.
Why should I discuss the difference between nature science and social science? Because I think the main point or cornerstone of nature science and social science is different, the main point of social science research is design, design something that have not exist, create something that does not exist, and make it happen. |
