- what is the relationship between the social sciences and the
natural sciences? - where do today's dominant approaches to doing
social science come from? - what are the main fissures and debates
in contemporary social scientific thought? - how are we to make
sense of seemingly contrasting approaches to how social scientists
find out about the world and justify their claims to have knowledge
of it? In this exciting handbook, Ian Jarvie and Jesus
Zamora-Bonilla have put together a wide-ranging and authoritative
overview of the main philosophical currents and traditions at work
in the social sciences today. Starting with the history of social
scientific thought, this handbook sets out to explore that core
fundamentals of social science practice, from issues of ontology
and epistemology to issues of practical method. Along the way it
investigates such notions as paradigm, empiricism, postmodernism,
naturalism, language, agency, power, culture, and causality.
Bringing together in one volume leading authorities in the field
from around the world, this book will be a must-have for any
serious scholar or student of the social sciences.
