The beginning of social scientific thought dates back to the Ancient Greek civilization. Great thinkers “Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle” meaning of life and how a state should be governed. This was the period when great thinkers focused their attention on social phenomena and tried to give meaning to them. The following period, the 15th century, was called the Middle Ages. During this time, religion was the law and was as important as scientific thought. The Catholic Church was supreme, and its power was absolute. The 16th century was the period known as the Scientific Revolution. Great thinkers “including Isaac Newton and René Descartes” scientific ideas that we still use today, (physics and mathematics) The Scientific Revolution dealt primarily with the idea that reason was greater than imagination. The following periods, the 17th and 18th century, were collectively called the Age of Enlightenment.
