Abstract

The objective of this paper is to examine the evolution of post-normal science from the sociology and public administration perspectives. The library approach described in this article employs literature review. This article examines the notion of post-normal science, post-normal science from the sociological viewpoint, and the evolution of the science of public administration. Post-Normal Science is a method of investigation whose impartiality is not always attainable. As a consequence of the interference of rational forces, particularly politics, with objection and sensitivity, predictability and control are constrained. It is utilized to control and determine sociology's connection with the state and its funding sources. Sociology is supported for instrumental purposes in connection to societal aims, despite the fact that it is not intended to be a source of propaganda and should have its own goals, including the goal of being a science.
