Metascience and Politics: An Inquiry Into the Conceptual Language of Political Science
ISBN: 9780765805096 / Angielski / Miękka / 457 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A central problem in political inquiry is the conceptual and linguistic informality of political science. For most of its history, the discipline has been largely pursued with the analytic and logical machinery of ordinary language. Likewise, there has been little effort to standardize how language is used, or to systematize theoretical procedures to insure methodological uniformity. In an effort to better understand and defend the research processes that attend, sustain, and foster the systematic credibility of political science, Gregor argues a special conceptual language is needed to...

Since the seventeenth century, concern in the Western world for the welfare of the individual has been articulated most often as a concern for his rights.

Lament for a Nation became the...
