Pragmatist thought is central to sociology. However, sociologists typically encounter pragmatism indirectly, as a philosophy of science or as an influence on canonical social scientists, rather than as a vital source of theory, research questions, and methodological reflection in sociology today. In The New Pragmatist Sociology, Neil Gross, Isaac Ariail Reed, and Christopher Winship assemble a range of sociologists to address essential ideas in the field and their historical and theoretical connection to classical pragmatism. The book examines questions of methodology, social interaction, and politics across the broad themes of inquiry, agency, and democracy. Essays engage widely and deeply with topics that motivate both pragmatist philosophy and sociology, including rationality, speech, truth, expertise, and methodological pluralism. Contributors include Natalie Aviles, Karida Brown, Daniel Cefai, Mazen Elfakhani, Luis Flores, Daniel Huebner, Cayce C. Hughes, Paul Lichterman, John Levi Martin, Ann Mische, Vontrese D. Pamphile, Jeffrey N. Parker, Susan Sibley, Daniel Silver, Mario Small, Iddo Tavory, Stefan Timmermans, Luna White, and Joshua Whitford.

Este libro es una introduccion concisa a la Geometria Diferencial formulada a partir del concepto general y unificador de variedad diferenciable. Aparte de por su interes matematico, el libro puede utilizarse como base geometrica para algunas ramas de la Fisica, como la Mecanica Racional o la Relatividad General. Los contenidos han sido escritos para inducir a la reflexion sobre conceptos y estructuras geometricas, ilustrandolos con ejemplos comunes en Fisica. Las demostraciones incluidas en el texto han sido seleccionadas para profundizar en los conceptos o resolver problemas concretos. Las no incluidas suelen reemplazarse por esquemas o ideas intuitivas que aportan seguridad a los resultados enunciados. El libro tambien contiene ejercicios que permiten al lector afianzar los conocimientos adquiridos. Aunque esta obra se dirige principalmente a estudiantes de Ciencias Fisicas, tambien puede resultar de interes a aquellos estudiantes de Matematicas, especialmente los de doctorado, que quieran reafirmar sus conocimientos geometricos."
