In recent years, social scientists have turned their critical lens
on the historical roots and contours of their disciplines,
including their politics and practices, epistemologies and methods,
institutionalization and professionalization, national development
and colonial expansion, globalization and local contestations, and
their public presence and role in society. The Social Sciences in
the Looking Glass offers current social scientific perspectives on
this reflexive moment. Examining sociology, anthropology,
philosophy, political science, legal theory, and religious studies,
the volume's contributors outline the present transformations of
the social sciences, explore their connections with critical
humanities, analyze the challenges of alternate paradigms, and
interrogate recent endeavors to move beyond the human. Throughout,
the authors, who belong to half a dozen disciplines, trace how the
social sciences are thoroughly entangled in the social facts they
analyze, and are key to helping us understand the conditions of our
world. Contributors. Chitralekha, Jean-Louis Fabiani, Didier
