Dezvoltarea Științelor Sociale În Epoca Modernă
Development Of Social Sciences In The Modern Age

Summary/Abstract: The modern period was a historical space characterized by an effervescence of ideas, in both the field of science and the fields of arts, philosophy or literature. On the other hand, however, this was a period of social unrest, of conflicts, which were meant to change the old order with a new one, moulded on the new values. The emergence of utilitarianism and classical liberalism, with the discourse based on the importance of freedom, equality, individual development, but also the usefulness of the human being on the social level, cumulated with other changes of that epoch, directed researchers to the social universe and the problems of ordinary people, leading to the emergence of the social sciences. The present study aims to illustrate, in a concise manner, the significance that modern philosophical ideas, artistic currents and values had on the development of human- centred sciences.
