A Poetic for Sociology: Toward a Logic of Discovery for the Human Sciences
ISBN: 9780226076195 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) For too long, argues Richard Harvey Brown, social scientists have felt forced to choose between imitating science's empirical methodology and impersonating a romantic notion of art, the methods of which are seen as primarily a matter of intuition, interpretation, and opinion. Developing the idea of a "cognitive aesthetic," Brown shows how both science and art as well as the human studies that stand between them depend on metaphoric thinking as their "logic of discovery" and may be assessed in terms of such aesthetic criteria of adequacy as economy, elegance, originality, scope, congruence,...

Structure, Consciousness and History
ISBN: 9780521293402 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1978, this volume is addressed to the crisis prevailing in the social and cultural sciences. The authors explore the conflict between positivism and romanticism, between hard and soft sociological research methods, and between objectivity and subjectivity - conflicts that were particularly acute in sociology at the time of publication. All of the essays adopt the approach of 'symbolic realism' or 'cognitive aesthetics' to overcome the dualism in conventional sociological theory. This strategy of symbolic realism is a philosophical amalgam forged from findings in existential...

Toward a Democratic Science: Scientific Narration and Civic Communication
ISBN: 9780300207538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this important book, a leading authority in the field of social theory and communication shows how scientific practice is a rhetorical and narrative activity, a story well told. Richard Harvey Brown develops the idea of science as narration, casts various scientific disciplines as literary genres, and argues that expert knowledge of any kind is a form of power. He then explains how a narrative view of science can help integrate science within a democratic civic discourse. Brown shows why social science knowledge is as much a rhetorical enterprise as is the social reality that it describes....

The United States is in transit from an industrial to a postindustrial society, from a modern to postmodern culture, and from a national to a global economy.

Writing the Social Text: Poetics and Politics in Social Science Discourse
ISBN: 9780202303864 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) During the past decade, it has become commonplace to interpret social and cultural reality-the very groundwork of the social sciences-as linguistic constructions. Not only is society viewed as a text, but scientific texts themselves are seen as rhetorical constructions. This collection of scholarly essays begins with an overview of this emerging field, and covers the specific stylistic practices by which social scientists create -objective- or -true- representations of society. The volume closes with a consideration of the more telling challenges to the rhetorics of the social...
