The social sciences are still predominantly modernist disciplines
and, as such, products of the Enlightenment. Recent challenges to
Enlightenment thinking thus carry with them the potential or threat
to transform the social sciences radically. Postmodernism and the
Social Sciences examines the nature and potential of this
postmodernist challenge in each of the major social sciences.
Starting with the practices of particular disciplines and
proceeding to matters of shared concern, the essays provide an
accessible discussion of the contemporary impact of postmodernism
on social scientific thought.

The social sciences are still predominantly developments of the
Enlightenment, extensions of the conceptions and methods of
Newtonian science. Recently a number of social theorists have
brought the presuppositions of Enlightenment thinking under
critical scrutiny and have called into question the basis of much
social scientific thinking. Despite the seriousness of this
postmodernist challenge, its nature and dimensions remain unclear
especially to those in the modernist mainstream. The essays in this
book are designed to call attention to the challenge and in a
manner accessible to those not so familiar with the more
theoretical writings of postmodernism. The essays range over the
social sciences and ask what the implications of postmodernism
thinking are for the modernist disciplines of social anthropology,
sociology, geography, social psychology, international relations
and economics. An introductory essay provides a survey of the
beginnings of postmodernism in literary theory and in the study of
art and architecture and raises questions about the translation of
the vocabulary of postmodernism into the social sciences.
