- Abstract
- As a result of the challenges of information processing as a 'tool science of the mind', interesting prospects are opening up for the social sciences in the fields of increasing user orientation, discovery of semantics in data and potential uses of computer networks. Such methodological trends are therefore becoming increasingly important which on the one hand take account of the complexity of social processes - in science as well - and on the other hand promote the formulation of theories. This paper will describe the state of social sciences, in particular sociology, in concrete terms and will examine potential solutions to problems of epistemology and research practice by means of specific examples
