About Sociodynamics (abbreviated SD) there already exist several survey articles (Weidlich 2003, 2005, 2006b; Weidlich and Huebner 2008) and books (Weidlich and Haag 1983; Weidlich 2006a) explaining its principles and describing a few seminal models. Therefore we will here give a short summary of SD only and instead focus on its methodological problems and implications. These include a comparison of the structures of SD and physics in view of the scope and limits of calculability in both sciences. Of particular interest is the role of stability versus instability in the human society treated in terms of SD.
