THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN SOCIAL SCIENCES AND NATURAL SCIENCES: A PLURIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Abstract

The divide between social and natural sciences has long shaped research methodologies and epistemologies. However, emerging global challenges—climate change, public health crises, technological disruptions—demand a pluridisciplinary approach that integrates both domains. This article explores the dynamic interplay between social and natural sciences, highlighting how their convergence can foster deeper understanding, innovation, and problem-solving. By examining case studies in environmental sustainability, pandemic response, and technological adoption, we illustrate how interdisciplinary collaboration enhances the efficacy of research outcomes. We argue that future scholarship and policy should embrace this integrated framework to address complex societal and ecological challenges
