A Poetic for Sociology: Toward a Logic of Discovery for the Human Sciences
ISBN: 9780226076195 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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,...

Social Science as Civic Discourse: Essays on the Invention, Legitimation, and Uses of Social Theory
ISBN: 9780226076249 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Harvey Brown's pioneering explorations in the philosophy of social science and the theory of rhetoric reach a culmination in "Social Science as Civic Discourse." In his earlier works, he argued for a logic of discovery and explanation in social science by showing that science and art both depend on metaphoric thinking, and he has applied that logic to society as a narrative text in which significant action by moral agents is possible. This new work is at once a philosophical critique of social theory and a social-theoretical critique of politics. Brown proposes to redirect the...

Metatheory in Social Science: Pluralisms and Subjectivities
ISBN: 9780226251929 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is the nature of the social sciences? What kinds of knowledge can they-and should they-hope to create? Are objective viewpoints possible and can universal laws be discovered? Questions like these have been asked with increasing urgency in recent years, as some philosophers and researchers have perceived a "crisis" in the social sciences. "Metatheory in Social Science" offers many provocative arguments and analyses of basic conceptual frameworks for the study of human behavior. These are offered primarily by practicing researchers and are related to problems in disciplines as diverse as...

In his ground-breaking work on unemployment, voting, consumer behavior, and social influence, among other subjects, his methodological emphasis on vigorously controlled scientific language and structures transformed social research worldwide.
Lazarsfeld's systematic criticism of observational, conceptual, and inferential procedures in sociology led to the the formation of universally applied observational and analytical techniques, such as the panel design of observation and contextual and multivariate...

Reload: Rethinking Women + Cyberculture
ISBN: 9780262561501 / Angielski / Miękka / 596 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most writing on cyberculture is dominated by two almost mutually exclusive visions: the heroic image of the male outlaw hacker and the utopian myth of a gender-free cyberworld. Reload offers an alternative picture of cyberspace as a complex and contradictory place where there is oppression as well as liberation. It shows how cyberpunk's revolutionary claims conceal its ultimate conservatism on matters of class, gender, and race. The cyberfeminists writing here view cyberculture as a social experiment with an as-yet-unfulfilled potential to create new identities, relationships, and...

Japan and the Enemies of Open Political Science
ISBN: 9780415111300 / Angielski / Twarda / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central argument of Japan and the Enemies of Open Political Science is that Eurocentric blindness is not a moral but a scientific failing. In this wide-ranging critique of Western social science, Anglo-American philosophy and French theory, Williams works on the premise that Japan is the most important political system of our time. He explains why social scientists have been so keen to ignore or denigrate Japan's achievements. If social science is to meet the needs of the Pacific Century', it requires a sustained act of intellectual demolition and subsequent renewal.
