‘Science with its central principles of objectivity, universalisation and causal explanation had a significant impact on social science’. Critically discuss.

The influence of science, particularly in its core principles of objectivity, universalisation, and causal explanation, has had a profound impact on the development of social sciences. These principles, which stem from the natural sciences, were adopted in varying degrees by social science scholars with the aim of enhancing the rigor, credibility, and empirical foundation of their research. While the adoption of scientific methods has shaped the landscape of social sciences, it has also sparked debates regarding their applicability and relevance to the study of human behavior, societies, and cultures. This essay critically examines the impact of the scientific principles of objectivity, universalisation, and causal explanation on social science, exploring both the advantages and limitations of such an approach.
