Richard Feynman on "Social Sciences"

its sort of like when people say christian science... I can't help but laugh at them.

Theres no such thing as social science (also called human sciences)

Social Science is itself a paradox!!!

Everything related to Society like history, psychology, economy, etc arent sciences despite some people consider them as such

he's right; it's the same with economics - which is not a science, it's bullshit

applied mathematics and sociology
not a science

Most of the people regard psychiatry as a science. Yet it is a 'social science', isn't it?

Well, to be honest I find dividing science up in natural and social science to be far too simplistic. A scientometric study called Mapping the Backbone of Science (Boyack, Klavans, & Borner, 2005) identified seven major fields: social sciences, mathematics, psychology, earth sciences, physics, chemistry and medicine. Their structure gives you a lot more info on a field than just saying field A is natural science.

Their "map" reveals that psychiatry is a field which lies close to psychology and has few interdisciplinary links.

Unfortunately their mapping doesn't say what is science and what is not, but I generally agree with the wiki definition which would make "social science" science as opposed to what feynman claims. The process (scientific method) is what's important, not the result.

@lifeofbob With computer science you get into trouble with this criterium though. Outside the anglo-saxon world computer-science is usually referred to as "informatics" (in different lingual variations). Would this imply that an effort in computer science can only be considered real science when done by someone from outside the anglo-saxon part of world?
PS: I am not a computer scientist offended by your post. I 'm a physicist and appreciate what you say about physics.

I feel like lifeofbob's statement was a generalization that is mostly true, but cannot be easily helped due to the formulation of the term "computer science" being very recent, since computers themselves are very new. The newest sciences tend to be the least exact, but were all named similarly; computer science is the exception to the former statement.
