History of Social Science
 The history of the social sciences begins in the Age of Enlightenment after 1650.
 The social sciences developed from the sciences (experimental and applied), or
the systematic knowledge-bases or prescriptive practices, relating to the social
improvement of a group of interacting entities.
 Social science was influenced by positivism. Auguste Comte used the term
"science sociale" to describe the field, taken from the ideas of Charles Fourier;
Comte also referred to the field as social physics.

established by thinkers such as Comte, Durkheim, Marx, and Weber, or more
generally to all disciplines outside of "noble science" and arts
