A distinction between two types of concepts, N-concepts and S-concepts, is presented. It is claimed that there is a fundamental difference between these two types of concepts and that S-concepts are used only in the social sciences, not in the natural sciences; hence there is a fundamental difference between social and natural science. Also, several different kinds of S-concepts - primary and derived, intra-cranial and extra-cranial, descriptions and evaluations, etc. - are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
