There are three things which neither sociology, religion, science…or whatever epistemologies you turn to… can explain
Power
Gender/Women*
Love
these remain the most debated, complex and largely experiential aspects of society…they give us questions, paradoxes and personal and social conflicts…you cant find a solution or a fixed path…perhaps that’s why no subject has taken it up to study them (though sociology has taken the former two somewhat)…and even psychology has done some justice in understanding them…why psychology has succeeded in its endeavors is because these things are totally ‘experiential’…they are in the mind… but they are in society too!! The most amazing thing is that they are ubiquitous.
