Critical resistance to traditional empirical methods and the quest
for foundational knowledge of human action is widespread.
Recognition of theoretical and methodological inadequacies has
sparked a search for a more robust conception of human science.
This fascinating and carefully reasoned book develops the argument
for human science as social construction. Demonstrating that
descriptions of human action can neither be derived from nor
corrected by scientific observation, Gergen provides a bold
interdisciplinary challenge to traditional views, thus clearing the
way for significant alterations in scientific practice. In the
preface to the Second Edition, Gergen describes the major movements
taking place since the First Edition was published over a decade
ago.
