Mechanical Social Sciences

A reductionist approach to studying society that models human behavior using principles derived from classical physics: equilibrium, linear causality, and predictable, law-like regularities. It treats individuals as interchangeable particles, societies as closed systems, and social change as a series of push-pull forces. This was the dominant ambition of 19th-century sociology (Comte's "social physics"), and it persists in certain economic models and policy frameworks that assume predictable responses to incentives.

Mechanical Social Sciences Example: Rational Choice Theory in economics is Mechanical Social Science. It assumes humans are utility-maximizing particles, markets are frictionless planes, and prices are forces that drive systems to equilibrium. This model is mathematically elegant and occasionally predictive—but it systematically fails when humans behave emotionally, culturally, or altruistically. It is physics envy applied to the messy, meaningful business of social life.
