There is a great controversy about the nature of sociology as a science. The term nature refers to the characteristics of any discipline or science. sociology as a branch of knowledge has its unique characteristics. Sociology study about different types of social group, social institution, social action, interaction and consequences, social relation,etc. In this way sociology studies about all aspects of society. It studies about social problem and suggest some suggestion for the solution of social problems. Sociology uses scientific and systematic methods and techniques to solve the problems and collect the information and data to analyses the collected data or information.
Some social thinker deny sociology as a science but there are others who believe that sociology is as much as science as other social sciences like political science, history, economics, etc.
The nature of sociology means whether it is a science or not?
The arguments are in two divisions:
- Sociology is a science.
- Sociology cannot be regarded as a science.
