📖 1. Nature and Epistemology

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Sciences empiriques formelles: These are sciences founded on the observation of concrete facts and the development of theories that can be tested and refuted. They rely on empirical evidence gathered through observation and experimentation, ensuring that their conclusions are grounded in observable reality. In the context of social sciences like sociology and anthropology, this means that these disciplines base their analyses on tangible, observable phenomena rather than solely on opinions or subjective interpretations.

Concept: A concept in socio-anthropology is a constructed analytical tool, not a direct reflection of raw reality. It is an abstract, theoretical construct designed to help understand and interpret phenomena. Concepts are developed through a process of theoretical construction and are used to analyze complex social or cultural facts, serving as a bridge between raw data and understanding. For example, a concept might be used to analyze social roles or cultural norms, but it is not the phenomena itself; rather, it is a tool to facilitate analysis.
