The paper burrowing into the philosophy of social sciences reveals some of the deepest assumptions about man, the epistemological foundation upon which earlier works were based. It argues that these are less solid, less fixed and less final, than what they were supposed to be. In short the bottom seems to fall through, leaving us with some cognitive nervousness about what and how to study human phenomena. How ever, it is argued that as one stands today, there is an awareness that social sciences should have aims, ambitions and methods of studying which are different from those of the natural sciences. It is now legitimate to examine oneself, others and values as a part and parcel of the study of human phenomena. This openness is seen as having exciting and enriching possibilities in human sciences. The creative flexi bility and the ever changing human being is once again claiming centrality in social sciences
