THE PROBLEM OF METHOD IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

Summary/Abstract: We aim through this analytical paper to get closer to the method in the social sciences and to try to discuss the most important methodological details that the researcher encounters in this field, compared to the experimental sciences and the material sciences in which the methods have witnessed great development thanks to the nature of the studied material and the continuous studies to develop methods in these sciences. Considering that the social sciences are sciences that have recently separated from philosophy, and even still combine them with theoretical overlaps. Therefore, we tried to explain the method in the social sciences and drop the existing methods in the experimental sciences, and we focused on the main point that separated the sciences from philosophy, which is the “law” and the determinism of social phenomena, since whenever we provide the same reasons, the same results inevitably give us, and this is only available with the presence of Laws appear in the social sciences differently from their counterparts in other sciences, in the form of theoretical approaches and models of analysis. We also talked about the rules of the method in the social sciences, by which a particular phenomenon can be described as a "sociological" phenomenon.
