This document discusses the relationship between jurisprudence and other social sciences. It states that jurisprudence studies law and how legal rules regulate human conduct in society. It is related to other disciplines in the following ways: - Politics also studies government and its role in administering society. Both jurisprudence and politics examine society. - Psychology analyzes human mental states while jurisprudence considers external conduct, which depends on internal mental states like intention. - Economics focuses on wealth and prosperity in society, areas also relevant to jurisprudence given law's role in social and economic well-being. - History provides context for legal concepts, allowing for historical jurisprudence, while sociology examines society
