Can we discuss where, or if, this should be placed in the introduction? I contend that as psychology should be placed where it was in my edit, as in most dictionary definitions of social science that include a list of social sciences, it is included. Additionally, with some exceptions for biopsychology, academic institutions generally classify it as a social science as well. I can see why it doesn't fit quite as easily as economics and sociology, but it fits here better than in natural sciences, and it seems a categorization is desired, as is done in Template:Science.

As long as it has been included in multiple dictionary definitions then I do not see why it shouldn't be placed in the introduction. My question however is why is Freud is not included in the psychology part of the article since he did attribute things to that community DaltonSchultz (talk) 02:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As a student pursuing sociology as a degree it would be great to have an expansion in this section so that others will know what to do with their degrees after graduating. Overall the article was very informative but developing that section might help out a bit more. Raisa.karim (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This article lists social sciences, but the list seems rather idiosyncratic. It includes musicology, which I have never seen elsewhere listed as a social science, and social history, which is normally seen as a humanities subject rather than a science. Vorbee (talk) 15:55, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Under the sociology section, should there be more info regarding sub fields? Or is it better to leave the link for the Wikipedia page of sociology regarding sub fields?
What are some examples of how sociology can be studied? For example, how can we study sociology around us, in our community? --Yvette 282 (talk) 01:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are some missing sociological methods here that I noticed. Is it just supposed to be found in the sociology page or should it also be included here?
Talking as someone who teaches history (medieval and early modern) at the University, I find it improper to classify history as a social science. A general glance at the article confirms to me that it is in need of substantial revision. The major debate right now is to whether sociology is indeed a science, considered that the sociologist is always part of the society he/she analysis and social processes cannot be isolated from historical actors, on which latter there is of course no science. The article never even mention this problem. Before going on adding the NPOV, I would be keen on discussing this matter.--80.147.11.76 (talk) 22:07, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
the classification of philosophy in the social sciences is absurd.[edit]
If Philosophy is classified as part of the social sciences, it is absurd. Philosophy cannot be classified as part of the social sciences and natural sciences because they are so dissimilar. Philosophy should be classified as a distinct "Essence science."—Essence science, Social science, Natural science, Applied science,.. 36.85.216.107 (talk) 06:42, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
