This book is a critical introduction to the philosophy of social
science, providing a clear description and provocative account of
many of the methods and ideals that guide research and teaching in
the social sciences.
Root describes how theories are constructed and tested, how
facts are predicted or explained, data collected and categorized,
causes identified and findings presented in the social sciences and
explains why, though the methods are intended to be value-free,
they end up being partisan. Along with the description and
criticism of the present philosophy of the social sciences, the
book offers an alternative philosophy for the social sciences -
based on ideals and methods for research and teaching that favor
one conception of the good over others.
