SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT?

"Hacking's book will help its readers understand why they need not worry that civilization will collapse if Nietzsche and Foucault continue to be taken seriously, and also why those who describe themselves as postmodern (by now a somewhat musty adjective) are not as radical, original, or relevant to moral and political deliberation as they sometimes think....Hacking's book is an admirable example of both useful debunking and thoughtful and original philosophizing--an unusual combination of good sense and technical sophistication."Hacking, Ian is the author of 'SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF WHAT?', published 2000 under ISBN 9780674004122 and ISBN 0674004124.
