In hmolscience, chemical sociology is a "soft" two-cultures namesake term, as usage indicates (Grant, c.1940), presented in the "anthropomorphize the chemicals", extrapolate-down, fun analogy style of presentation, similar to the terms:

● Human chemistry (Dreier, 1948)
● Molecular sociology (Lehn, 1991)
● Thermochemical relationship physics (Hirata, 2000)

as can be contrasted with contrasted with to the "hard" two-cultures namesake terms, presented in the "physicochemicalize the humanities", extrapolate-up, reality reductionist style of investigation.

● Social chemistry (Huxley, 1871)
● Human chemistry (1851, E.B.)
● Sociology 23 (Henderson, 1938)
● Physicocemical sociology (Beg, 1987)

Overview
In c.1940, John Grant, in his “Chemical Sociology”, outlined an anthropomorphized description of the elements and reactions between compounds, akin, thematically, to Thomas Dreier’s We Human Chemicals (1948), William Fairburn’s Human Chemistry (1910), Henry Bray’s The Living Universe (1910), and in some sense Goethe’s Elective Affinities (1809).

“The chances of developing a science of physiological psychology are about as good (or as bad) as the chances of developing a chemical sociology or a biological astronomy.”
