History is a discipline of social science mate. Its part of science :)
In order to keep the status co alive, you are being led to believe that social sciences are not sciences. Yet they are.
Sociology, which is a science, is not history.

Historians use sociology often, but writing history just amounts to collecting data and/or being told what to write, and that's not really science.
 
Sociology, which is a science, is not history.
Sociology is a social science, but all social sciences are not sociology.

Psychology, anthropology, sociology, history etc. are ALL social sciences.

Its a bit more complicated than that. But I'm not an historian so I'm not the best to talk about this subject.

It's not very complex, history dabbles with using other sciences, but in itself it offers no conclusions other than noting past events. Historians are not considered scientists, and neither of them will call themselves that.

Yes, just like astrophysics dabbles with mathematics and cosmology. Sciences are connected.


but in itself it offers no conclusions other than noting past events.
But .. those ARE the conclusions....

Indeed and that's a problem. Just like sociologist are not considerered scientist, social sciences are targeted by liberals and conservatists basically because social sciences are questionning the status co and the established hegemonic narrative.

Ask a liberal if they are 100 % for science, they will say "YES".
Ask a liberal if they believe in meritocracy, they will say "YES".
Ask a liberal if they think that social science are sciences, they MIGHT say "YES".

Tell a liberal that sociology is tearing down the concept of Meritocracy and they will say "Sociology is a leftist ideology and its not a science"

The moment science starts to question the status co and the hegemony, science becomes illegitimate in the eyes of those who hold power. And yet.. Science is alive and Kings are dead.

We need to understand the scientificity of social sciences weither its history, psychology, anthropology, geography or sociology.

No, it's not at all the same, astrophysics directly uses math and physics as tools and then comes to its own conclusions. History asks archeologists and sociologists wtf happened, then just write down whatever the century archeologists determined, ergo they didn't really determine anything on their own. I think these terms confuse you, but you can Google it and find that historians aren't scientists and why.
 
No, it's not at all the same
Didn't say it was the same.

You are killing thousands of historian with that sentence... way to go to missrepresented an entire field...

Again, I'm not an historian so I can't reply to you in detail, but you obviously are not one so, be humble mate about the subject mate...

There’s no need to be humble to an objective truth which is: historians don’t make conclusions, and history is a discipline where you can’t draw any kind of “law” or conclusion from, which is something you do need for something to be labeled as science.

As I said, historians don’t consider themselves scientists, because they aren’t. It doesn’t take away from the discipline or from the hard work of compiling info, it’s just the way things are.

Social sciences are not about universality, that one of the thing people miss out. The fact that they are social makes it that they are contextual in time and space. So you will find very few "laws" like natural sciences.

And yet.. they are. But I would love to talk about those historian who don't consider themself scientists.

You compared history taking conclusions from sciences to astrophysics using math. The purpose of that argument can only be that they are the same, but I hope you realise astrophysicists know math and use it themselves for their own conclusions, while historians know errr history.

We’re talking about history only, don’t move the goalpost.

I think just talk to any historian :milaugh:

No. I compared the fact that sciences have porosity between themself. Meaning that history can take from sociology or archeology which can take to biology which can take to physic which can take from mathematic Etc.

I AM talking about history. History like other social science needs to be studied in context through time, space and socialization.

It's not a science, it's just a discipline :josad:

A discipline OF science

You can never really get true conclusions with history though. Every person who picked up a writing instrument was biased, working with incomplete information and sometimes working with specific agendas or limitations.
Most scientist will actually tell you that the carcan "scientific method" is missleading.

Some scientists prefer to it the term "scientific practice" or "scientific thinking". Its much more in line with what they actually do.

But you highlighted one of the problematic of science: human are bias and EVEN the scientific process can be bias. That's why scientific rely on a LOT of informations, data, experiences, reproductibility etc. Indeed an historian can be bias, that's why their discipline must be done rigorously.

Just like others scientific disciplines, escaping bias can be very hard, that's why we rely on the scientific practice and good ethics.
