Sociology as we know it is facing a serious threat. Many natural scientific sub­disciplines seek to usurp the rights to certain areas of sociological issues. This is not simply an attempt to reduce many sociological problems to the laws of physics and biology (vide sociobiology or memetics). For example, certain cognitive scientists and researchers on artificial intelligence are interested in purely sociological issues. For this reason, in the next few decades other disciplines may take the place of sociology. In the authors' opinion this leaves two options for sociology. The first is to continue in its current form. The second option is to adopt a model of science based on a synthetic methodology, the use of laboratories and tinkering.

The last three decades have witnessed a dynamic development of science and technology studies, which have shown science in a way completely different from that presented by the traditional philosophy of science and methodology of social sciences. The authors accept that the findings of those studies concerning the mechanisms of functioning of science are correct and attempt to address again the problem of the difference between those disciplines and the social sciences. Their analysis concerns: the role and importance of laboratories in the social sciences; the 'transition' of social phenomena to those laboratories; the possibility of popularization by the social sciences of technological solutions prepared by those laboratories; an incorrect approach to experiment and the acceptance of false ideas of the function of natural sciences by social scientists.
