Focusing on the disciplines of economics, sociology, political
science, and history, this book examines how American social
science came to model itself on natural science and liberal
politics. Professor Ross argues that American social science
receives its distinctive stamp from the ideology of American
exceptionalism, the idea that America occupies an exceptional place
in history, based on her republican government and wide economic
opportunity. Professor Ross shows how each of the social science
disciplines, while developing their inherited intellectual
traditions, responded to change in historical consciousness,
political needs, professional structures, and the conceptions of
science available to them. This is a comprehensive book, which
looks broadly at American social science in its historical context
and to demonstrate the central importance of the national ideology
of American exceptionalism to the development of the social
sciences and to American social thought generally.
