This volume offers one of the first systematic analyses of the rise
of modern social science. Contrary to the standard accounts of
various social science disciplines, the essays in this volume
demonstrate that modern social science actually emerged during the
critical period between 1750 and 1850. It is shown that the social
sciences were a crucial element in the conceptual and epistemic
revolution, which parallelled and partly underpinned the political
and economic transformations of the modern world. From a
consistently comparative perspective, a group of internationally
leading scholars takes up fundamental issues such as the role of
the Enlightenment and the French Revolution in the shaping of the
social sciences, the changing relationships between political
theory and moral discourse, the profound transformation of
philosophy, and the constitution of political economy and
statistics.
