Providing a capstone to Philip Selznick's influential body of
scholarly work, "A Humanist Science" insightfully brings to light
the value-centered nature of the social sciences. The work clearly
challenges the supposed separation of fact and value, and argues
that human values belong to the world of fact and are the source of
the ideals that govern social and political institutions. By
demonstrating the close connection between the social sciences and
the humanities, Selznick reveals how the methods of the social
sciences highlight and enrich the study of such values as
well-being, prosperity, rationality, and self-government.
The book moves from the animating principles that make up the
humanist tradition to the values that are central to the social
sciences, analyzing the core teachings of these disciplines with
respect to the moral issues at stake. Throughout the work, Selznick
calls attention to the conditions that affect the emergence,
realization, and decline of human values, offering a valuable
resource for scholars and students of law, sociology, political
science, and philosophy.
