A Realist Philosophy of Social Science: Explanation and Understanding
ISBN: 9780521678582 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This introduction to the philosophy of social science provides an original conception of the task and nature of social inquiry. Peter Manicas discusses the role of causality seen in the physical sciences and offers a reassessment of the problem of explanation from a realist perspective. He argues that the fundamental goal of theory in both the natural and social sciences is not, contrary to widespread opinion, prediction and control, or the explanation of events (including behaviour). Instead, theory aims to provide an understanding of the processes which, together, produce the contingent...

History and Philosophy of the Social Sciences
ISBN: 9780631165835 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This ambitious critical history of the variety of disciplines we group together as the social sciences argues that the defining characteristic of social science, both historically and in the present, is ideology. Based originally on a flawed ideal of science, the 'social sciences' have incorporated and refined a set of assumptions about the nature of state and society, assumptions which have been institutionalized with the growth of modern universities.
The book is in three main parts. It deals firstly with the history of certain key ides from the early modern period (assessing... This ambitious critical history of the variety of disciplines we group together as the social sciences argues that the defining characteristic of soci...

Rescuing Dewey: Essays in Pragmatic Naturalism
ISBN: 9780739125151 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book rescues an often misunderstood, underappreciated, and radical John Dewey. It centers on his rejection of traditional epistemology for his original and powerful view of "logic"--with serious implications for general philosophy, the philosophy of the human sciences, including psychology, and the philosophy of democracy. The goal of this work is not to try to rescue Dewey from his critics, but to rescue Dewey from his friends--from those who ignore the implications of Dewey's naturalism to those influenced by Richard Rorty who take Dewey's rejection of insurrectionary politics too far....

This book looks at the role of state capitalism in major European and Asian societies. It confronts neo-liberal pieties about the role of markets and private property in capitalist development and radical accounts which see the state as the antithesis of capitalism. State capitalism is a normal form of capitalist development. Its extremes may vary but it has been, and remains, central to an understanding of modern capitalism. This is especially the case in the so called Communist and Communist worlds of Russia and China, and for alternative...
