Anchoring Biology as the Basis for Constructing Knowledge in Social Sciences
Hope a research fellowship for this Forthcoming Postdoctoral Research Project!
Abstract
Every human act derives its roots from biological determinism (Damasio, 2019). Biology acts as source of all human dynamics, including human cultures or civilizations, in space and time. Consequently, the link between biology and human cultures is the most legitimate channel from which all knowledge in social and human sciences should be built. Because this link is objective, these knowledges would make it possible to build better knowledges on human beings and on human societies; they would make it possible to highlight immutable and irrefutable laws and principles; they would make social sciences pure science like Physics, etc. This link opens a field of knowledge with almost unlimited potential. Overall, the exploration of this field opens a new universe to the construction of knowledge in the social sciences and provides new solutions to current crises (global warming, etc.). Far from materialism and beyond the Cartesian dualism, this analytical approach, setting biology as a base of the construction of knowledges in the social sciences, represents Microanthropology.
