Sociology deals with the fundamentals, manifestations, and developments of human coexistence. It deals with the structure of social structures as well as their emergence, change, and their mutual interactions. The procedure is both empirical through the most precise, largely quantitative research of concrete conditions as well as systematic with the aim of a relatively general and generally valid formulation of knowledge and socio-philosophical theories. As an independent science, it is closely related and interacting with other disciplines, such as economics, political science, philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy.
