A look at the method in the social sciences and its disciplines
Abstract
This article briefly examines the study object and method of some disciplines in the social sciences. It begins with an anthropocentric analysis and the main questioning of men about their existence, the anthropology, the interpretation of intersubjectivities, and human interrelations as part of their social development, and by means of some disciplines such as the anthropology, sociology, philosophy, psychology, and education, to conclude with a reflection on fundamental approaches.
As a conclusion, social sciences are the ones that contribute to the reflection and to question what are the disciplines that shape and clarify the possibility of interdisciplinary analysis, taking into account that each field of knowledge has its own method, object, theories, and concepts. It would be impossible to point out that there is only one method in the social sciences, since, based on the object and the type of research that is carried out, one can use the tools and elements of each field of knowledge in order to achieve interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and plural processes, and thereby activate that field or area of specific knowledge.
