Relation of Jurisprudence with other


social sciences
Jurisprudence is studying law, law is regulating the conduct of individuals and indi-
viduals are living and forming societies. Therefore, law is an important social phe-
nomenon which is making jurisprudence as a Social Science.

However, there are several other Social Science, like Ethics, Political Science, Soci-
ology, Psychology etc. Now, it is logical that these social science should be interlinked
with each other at some point.

Moreover, these social sciences could not studied in isolation. In other words, none
of these sciences can be understand with having a fair knowledge of others. Juris-
prudence, being a social science is, in fact, related with other social sciences.

Jurisprudence and Sociology

Jurisprudence is the study of law and sociology is the study of society and it is also
discusses law but from a different stand-point. Therefore there is a link between jur-
isprudence and sociology.

Jurisprudence is concerned with legal rules that actually exists, however, sociology
is studying the effectiveness of those legal rules and their impacts on society.

Jurisprudence and Politics

Politics studies the principles responsible for the governmental organization.


Whereas, jurisprudence is analyzing those principles.

Moreover, in a political society there exist rules for the regulation of human being
conduct which are the subject-matter of jurisprudence. Hence, there is a close con-
nection between the two.

Ethics is the science of human conduct. It projects an ideal human behavior, in the
light of which it suggests a course of conduct for individuals living in societies.
Whereas, jurisprudence is discussing the imperative rules, actually existing in the
societies. However, those rules are also connected with the behavior of human be-
ings in societies.

Therefore, both of the science are interrelated.

Due to the close relationship and interdependency of these sciences, there emerged
a branch of jurisprudence known as Ethical Jurisprudence, discussing the ideal hu-
man behavior or which is the study of law as it ought to be.

Jurisprudence and Psychology

Psychology is the ‘science of mind and behavior’, whereas, jurisprudence is discuss-


ing law.

Law is aimed to be followed by individuals, and individuals can only follow law if
they intend to follow.

Therefore, intention is the very basic element behind every law, and particularly in
criminal law the concept of mens rea is having immense importance. Therefore, jur-
isprudence and psychology both are closely inter-related human sciences.

Jurisprudence and Economics

Economics is the science of wealth and jurisprudence is the science of law.

Economics studies the production and distribution of wealth and law is responsible
for establishing a fair distribution of wealth through rules.

Moreover, studies show that economic factors are responsible for the increasing rate
of criminal activities, which again brings the two in close relation with each other.

Furthermore, economics aims at improvement of the standards of human lives


whereas, this could not possible if a peaceful environment is not available which is
possible through the application of laws.

Therefore, there is a close relationship between the two.

Jurisprudence and History

History is the scientific narration of the past events, whereas, jurisprudence is the
science of law.

Law has not come into existence overnight, as a matter of fact, it has developed
