    Behavioral

    Beginning in the 1950s, the term behavioral sciences was often applied to the
    disciplines designated as the social sciences. Those who favoured this term did so in
    part because these disciplines were thus brought closer to some of the sciences, such
    as physical anthropology and physiological psychology, which also deal with human
    behaviour.

    Strictly speaking, the social sciences, as distinct and recognized academic disciplines,
    emerged only on the cusp of the 20th century. But one must go back farther in time for
    the origins of some of their fundamental ideas and objectives. In the largest sense, the
    origins go all the way back to the ancient Greeks and their rationalist inquiries into
    human nature, the state, and morality. The heritage of both Greece and Rome is a
    powerful one in the history of social thought, as it is in other areas of Western society.
    Very probably, apart from the initial Greek determination to study all things in the spirit of
    dispassionate and rational inquiry, there would be no social sciences today. True, there
    have been long periods of time, as during the Western Middle Ages, when the Greek
    rationalist temper was lacking. But the recovery of this temper, through texts of the great
    classical philosophers, is the very essence of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment
    in modern European history. With the Enlightenment, in the 17th and 18th centuries,
    one may begin.

    Heritage of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance


    Effects of theology
    The same impulses that led people in that age to explore Earth, the stellar regions, and
    the nature of matter led them also to explore the institutions around them: state,
    economy, religion, morality, and, above all, human nature itself. It was the fragmentation
    of medieval philosophy and theory, and, with this, the shattering of the medieval
    worldview that had lain deep in thought until about the 16th century, that was the
    immediate basis of the rise of the several strands of specialized social thought that were
    in time to provide the inspiration for the social sciences.
