If your question is what i think it is; to what extent can sociology be seen as a science. Many sociologists would argue that sociology is an extreamly relative science and should be look upon as so.
If you look at the work of Emile Durkheim, who was a positivist he argues that sociology is a science, by positivist I mean - prefers to work with stats rather than words - all positivists have this belief.
Interpretivists however wouldn't argue so firmly that sociology is a science as they prefer to work with 'words' rather than stats.
What to look up; Durkheim's work on suicide. (very influencial in the sociology 'world' as it was the first research that labelled suicide as more than a psychological thing)
- J.D Douglas; interpretivist. again, his work on suicide is the best example.

Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior in the society. In other words, yes, sociology IS a science.
Sociology is considered an art because the argument brought forward states that human beings have free wills and their behavior cannot be measured. Sociology cannot be considered as a science because science has predictions and with humans having their own free will, they are unpredicatable. Sociology is only viewed as an art to some; it's mostly based on how an individual views the meaning of science. Max Weber is the main person behind the argument of sociology being considered as an art.
