The issue is what is the social science atom.

Summary

This quote raises the question of what constitutes the fundamental unit or building block of social science. It prompts reflection on whether there is a single element that can adequately explain and understand social phenomena, such as human behavior, relationships, and societal structures. It may prompt further discussions on various perspectives, theories, and approaches within social sciences, as well as the potential biases or limitations inherent in isolating a singular social science atom. Ultimately, it challenges researchers and scholars to critically examine the fundamental assumptions and methodologies relied upon in the study of social sciences.
