Sociology - relationship of sociology

Expert: dr. Cristina Carpinelli - 10/20/2009

Question
relationship between sociology and economics
relationship between sociology and anthropology
relationship between sociology and history

Answer
Relationship between sociology and economics: it tends to trace the explanation of economic phenomena to a theory of social systems, to a social construction of economic institutions. This relationship underlines, on the one hand, the cognitive dimension of embeddedness, related to the way in which the uniformities structured by mental processes limit economic reasoning, and, on the other, the cultural dimension of embeddedness, concerning the role of collectively shared representations in the formation of economic goals. Relationship is linked to a plural conception of economy, founded on the emphasis of socio-regulative principles, such as those of exchange, redistribution and reciprocity, which give shape to variable and historically anchored economic worlds. The concept of embeddedness roots historically and transmits a vision of economic processes as inseparable from non-economic institutions.

Relationship between sociology and anthropology: sociology and anthropology are two social sciences that are closely linked by their interest in understanding the relationship between individuals and the larger social worlds they create. The two fields attempt to study societies by understanding the people from their own perspectives. This involves learning to look past stereotypes and to understand other cultures from the point of view of those who live inside.

Relationship between sociology and history: Sociology is a theoretical understanding of how people behave in groups, while history is an actual narrative (interpretation, really) of how people have actually behaved in the past. Sociology is a theoretical understanding of how people behave in groups/societies, while history is an actual narrative (interpretation, really) of how people have actually behaved in the past. Sociology draws from history to create archetypes, ideal-types. Throughout history various totalitarianisms (Soviet, Nazi, etc.) have existed. Everyone of them must be studied separately. The sociology derives from the history some theoretical syntheses from which you can, for example, derive common traits of various totalitarian regimes that allow us to classify only one sociological category: totalitarianism.
