Abstract
The essential aspects of the organization of knowledge production as a human enterprise have been discussed in the previous chapter. In these discussions, the role of the quality of the societal knowledge on the social sciences is suggested to be an important constraint on the production of other sciences whether exact or otherwise. It is argued that there are epistemological differences, similarities and unity between exact and inexact sciences as categories of knowledge sectors.
