Philosophical Foundations of the Social Sciences: Analyzing Controversies in Social Research
ISBN: 9780521558914 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book defends the prospects for a science of society. It argues that behind the diverse methods of the natural sciences lies a common core of scientific rationality that the social sciences can and sometimes do achieve. It also argues that good social science must be in part about large-scale social structures and processes and thus that methodological individualism is misguided. These theses are supported by a detailed discussion of actual social research, including theories of agrarian revolution, organizational ecology, social theories of depression, and supply-demand explanations in...

Medicine has been a very fruitful source of significant issues for philosophy over the last 30 years.

Classifying Psychopathology: Mental Kinds and Natural Kinds
ISBN: 9780262027052 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this volume, leading philosophers of psychiatry examine psychiatric classification systems, including the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), asking whether current systems are sufficient for effective diagnosis, treatment, and research. Doing so, they take up the question of whether mental disorders are natural kinds, grounded in something in the outside world. Psychiatric categories based on natural kinds should group phenomena in such a way that they are subject to the same type of causal explanations and respond similarly to the same type of causal...

Individualism and the Unity of Science: Essays on Reduction, Explanation, and the Special Sciences
ISBN: 9780847686636 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this original and important book, Harold Kincaid defends a view of the special sciences--all sciences outside physics--as autonomous and nonreducible. He argues that the biological and social sciences provide explanations that cannot be captured by explanations at the level of their constituent parts, and yet that this does not commit us to mysterious, nonphysical entitites like vital forces or group minds. A look at real scientific practice shows that the many different sciences can be unified in a way that leaves them each an autonomous explanatory role. This book will be of great...

Value-Free Science: Ideals and Illusions?
ISBN: 9780195308969 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It has long been thought that science is our best hope for realizing objective knowledge, but that, to deliver on this promise, it must be value free. Things are not so simple, however, as recent work in science studies makes clear. The contributors to this volume investigate where and how values are involved in science, and examine the implications of this involvement for ideals of objectivity.

Scientific Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780198744108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Scientific Metaphysics collects original essays by some of the world's leading philosophers of science on the question of whether metaphysics can and should be naturalized--that is, conducted as a part of natural science. Some people will think that the idea of naturalized metaphysics is a contradiction in terms, on the grounds that metaphysics is by definition about matters that transcend the domain of empirical inquiry. Most of the authors here disagree, and hold that if metaphysics is to hold out any prospect of identifying objective truths, it must be continuous with and inspired by...

Struggles Before Brown: Early Civil Rights Protests and Their Significance Today
ISBN: 9781594514586 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There were many little-known challenges to racial segregation before the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). The author's oral history interviews highlight civil rights protests seldom considered significant, but that help us understand the beginnings of the civil rights struggle before it became a mass movement. She brings to light many important but largely forgotten events, such as the often overlooked 1950s Oklahoma sit-in protests that provided a model for the better-known Greensboro, North Carolina, sit-ins. This book's significance lies in its...
