Philosophy of the Social Sciences: Philosophical Theory and Scientific Practice

摘要

There are at least two reasons to recommend this book to the readership of the journal. First of all, this is not a reader or textbook on theand in nature. To be fair to social scientists, perhaps someone should edit another book with the reverse format, namely, a collection of cutting-edge social scientists' essays commented by philosophers. Such a book would be a good test case of whether philosophers of the social sciences can say something philosophically interesting without changing the topic of conversation.
