This article follows the philosophical line of mathematical pluralism to make two points: that if there is a view that mathematics is a basis for sciences including social sciences and if there is a pluralism in mathematics, then this implies that the only way to model society is a pluralist one. Along the way to this conclusion we argue why mathematical logic is a good part of mathematics to use in modelling and, in particular, explain the use of set theory in this context. 1
