Recent years have seen a dramatic re-emergence of interest in
ontology. From philosophy and social sciences to artificial
intelligence and computer science, ontology is gaining
interdisciplinary influence as a popular tool for applied research.
Contributions to Social Ontology focuses specifically on these
developments within the social sciences. The contributions reveal
that this revived interest in social ontology involves far more
than an unquestioning acceptance or application of the concepts and
methods of academic philosophers. Instead as ontology permeates so
many new areas, social ontology itself is evolving in new and
fascinating ways. This book engages with these new developments,
pushing it forward with cutting-edge new material from leading
authors in this area, from Roy Bhaskar to Margaret Archer. It also
explicitly analyzes the relationship between the new ontological
projects and the more traditional approaches. This book will be of
great interest to students and researchers alike across the social
sciences and particularly in philosophy, economics and sociology.
