description In this paper, I address the problem of applying the philosophical distinction between science and technology to the disciplines that deal with social phenomena. First, I will expose the demarcation problem regarding this distinction. Second, I will exhibit the arguments of those researchers who consider that it is possible to talk about technological disciplines in the fields that deal with the social world. I shall discuss then the "sociotechnology" (Mario Bunge) and the "social technology" (Olaf Helmer) approaches, apart from contemporary works of other scholars. Finally, I am going to defend why the science/technology distinction should be applied to the social disciplines.
