"This is a splendid book, providing a readable and reliable guide
to a very large range of topics and literature... the author brings
together, as few of us can, the details of research methodology and
practice with broader philosophical perspectives and approaches." -
William Outhwaite, Emeritus Professor, Newcastle University "We
need researchers who are philosophically informed rather than
philosophically obsessed or philosophically oppressed. With this
book Malcolm Williams strikes the exact balance." - Ray Pawson,
Emeritus Professor, University of Leeds This book is an ideal
introduction for any student or social researcher hoping to better
understand the philosophical issues that inform social research.
Williams is the perfect guide providing short focused introductions
to key concepts alongside a persuasive and engaging overview of how
we interpret and conduct research. The book covers everything from
core research methods, to ethical concerns and an exploration of
the metaphysics of social life, with each entry providing: Clear
definitions Engaging real world examples Up-do-date suggestions for
further reading Informative cross-referencing Lists of key
thinkers. Relevant and authoritative, this book is an indispensable
introduction to the philosophy of social research.
