Contemporary Philosophy of Social Science Zusammenfassung

Contemporary Philosophy of Social Science: A Multicultural Approach Brian Fay (Wesleyan University, Connecticut)

This volume provides a lucid and distinct introduction to multiculturalism and the philosophy of social science.
  • Distinct, engaging and timely 'multicultural' approach
  • Clear, non-technical overview of the nature of social inquiry
  • First volume of outstanding new Contemporary Philosophy series

Contemporary Philosophy of Social Science Bewertungen

It is penetrating in its discussion of the issues but written in an engaging and accessible way. Highly recommended. Choice

In a textbook fashion that is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students alike, Fay offers a multicultural/dialectical approach to social inquiry that is designed to eliminate the traditional dualistic way of thinking that currently dominates the philosophy of social science. For those who are wont to explore the many questions that philosophers of social science are most interested in examining, I would definitely suggest Fay's book. He clearly articulates and assesses many of the difficult arguments in the philosophy of social science. Philosophia, Vol 28, June 2001
