The philosophy of the social sciences considers the underlying
explanatory powers of the social (or human) sciences, such as
history, economics, anthropology, politics, and sociology. The type
of questions covered includes the methodological (the nature of
observations, laws, theories, and explanations) to the ontological
- whether or not these sciences can explain human nature in a way
consistent with common-sense beliefs. This Handbook is a major,
comprehensive look at the key ideas in the field, is guided by
several principles. The first is that the philosophy of social
science should be closely connected to, and informed by,
developments in the sciences themselves. The second is that the
volume should appeal to practicing social scientists as well as
philosophers, with the contributors being both drawn from both
ranks, and speaking to ongoing controversial issues in the field.
Finally, the volume promotes connections across the social
sciences, with greater internal discussion and interaction across
disciplinary boundaries.
