Social philosophy

Japanese: 社会哲学 - しゃかいてつがく(英語表記)social philosophy
Social philosophy
It refers to a fundamental consideration that seeks to explain social life holistically and comprehensively. It is said to be a term originating from T. Hobbes, but it has not been established as a clear academic field, and no fundamental conceptual definition has been established. G. Simmel conceived a system of sociology consisting of three parts: general sociology, formal (pure) sociology, and philosophical sociology. He said that philosophical sociology consists of social epistemology, which deals with the assumptions and basic concepts that make sociological knowledge possible, and social metaphysics, which deals with the relationship between sociology and problems and concepts that go beyond the scope of sociology's direct subject knowledge, which suggests the content of social philosophy.

Japanese:
社会生活を全体的,包括的に説明しようとする根本的な考察をいう。 T.ホッブズに始る用語といわれるが,明確な学問として成立しているわけではなく,根本的な概念規定も確立していない。 G.ジンメルは,一般社会学,形式 (純粋) 社会学,哲学的社会学の3部から成る社会学体系を構想し,哲学的社会学は,社会学的認識を可能にする前提や基礎概念を扱う社会認識論と,社会学の直接的な対象的知識の範囲をこえる問題や概念と社会学との関係を扱う社会形而上学から成るとしたが,これが社会哲学の内容を示唆している。
