Sociology? Valid or not?

[Core]

Do u think sociology is a valid field of science or not? Why?

[Genghis Khan]

Why wouldn't it be? It's a deviation from natural science but still falls under social science. It requires empirical investigation and critical analysis just like any other science-oriented subject. What's the counter-argument here?

Sociology, as Rawal said, is a valid field of science. Sociology for those who don't know is the scientific study of society. It is heavily based in empirical data, and statistics play a huge role. Saying sociology is not a valid science is like saying biology is not a valid science: it makes no sense.
