The Philosophy of Social Science (eBook, ePUB)

New Perspectives, 2nd edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Philosophy of social science can seem dry and abstract to students but this well conceived textbook engages them effectively in its problems and debates. Assuming no prior knowledge on the reader's part, it uniquely uses dialogue as a way of anticipating students' most frequently asked questions and providing clear explanations and careful contextualisation. Rich in pedagogic support, the second edition covers all the main theoretical positions, including positivism, empiricism, rationalism, hermeneutics, feminist epistemology, postmodernism, and critical realism. It now also includes chapters on methodological individualism, rational choice theory and pragmaticism.
