{{science}}

 

 

The term may be used, however, in the specific context of referring to the original ''science of society'' established in 19th century [[sociology]]. [[Émile Durkheim]], [[Karl Marx]] and [[Max Weber]] are typically cited as the principal architects of modern social science by this definition.<ref>http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/weber/ Max Weber - Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy</ref> [[Positivism|Positivist]] social scientists use methods resembling those of the [[natural sciences]] as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter [[History_of_science#Modern_science|modern sense]]. [[Antipositivism|Interpretivist]] social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories, and thus treat science in its broader [[History_of_science#Early_cultures|classical sense]]. In modern academic practice researchers are often [[Eclecticism|eclectic]], using multiple [[Social research|methodologies]] (for instance, by combining the [[quantitative research|quantitative]] and [[qualitative research|qualitative]] techniques). The term "[[social research]]" has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines share in its aims and methods.
