Richard Ned Lebow (King's College London)

Reason and Cause

Social Science and the Social World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Philosophy and social science assume that reason and cause are objective and universally applicable concepts. Through close readings of ancient and modern philosophy, history and literature, Lebow demonstrates that these concepts are specific to time and place. He also shows why and how they evolve.
