Abstract
Introduction This essay attempts to generalize a framework originally found in Pesch (1925) to analyze the relationship of the social sciences with ethics and the philosophy of the human person. This framework is consistent with the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition and its main points are hardly new. However, by applying it systematically to the modern social sciences we establish the positive and normative character of such sciences, their relationships with ethics, and derive two principles of non-contradiction and increased knowledge which can be used to preserve the scientific character of positive and normative social science and to ensure the harmonious development of knowledge about the human person.
