Current social science is misery state, in other side, natural science
progress swiftly. Cause of misery of social science is its method which
analyze matter. In "Capital" Marx suggest new analytical method. In
analyzing value-form, he used relational method. In other words, two
commodities in relation analyzes each other, and finally, abstract labor
appear as mutual reduction or mutual relation. In this line, abstract labor
is not product of men's brain's analytical thinking, rather they(two
commodities) analyze each other, and are reduced into abstract each other.
I call this mutual reduction as synthetic abstraction outside human brain.
In physical and social world, things exists as we can't analyze. In other
words, human form of thinking is impossible to understand their behavior.
But they are intelligible although we can't understand. For example, quantum
behavior can't are understood by human form of thinking, but intelligible.

In non-capitalist society, how science will become can't answer. And How
some people will dislike or favor will not be known. But we gained new
analytical method, which will break current misery social science
